I am laying a vinyl tile floor. The exisiting floor is plywood and uneven. I used leveling compound to get the floor as level as pos. Is it correct to
1: use luan before laying the tile and
2: I read I should not screw it into the joist since it is going onto the plywood-is this correct
3: How often should I put screw? I was told every six inches and if this is correct, do I do it every six inches on the entire board?
4: Should I leave an 1/8" between sheets for expansion?
5: Is there anything else I need to know
Lowe's told me to use tempered hardboard - now the floor is wavy and this is the second time I have to lay this floor - I do not want to do it a third time!
