Floor question

Jul 06, 2003 2 Replies

Hey all,



I am doing a tile floor in my foyer.



I know I will be over 3/4" by the time I am done (more like 1 1/4"). I am not happy with the stiffness of the underlayment.



Can I go under the crawl space and attach some 1 x's to the underneath to help stiffen things up a bit?



Once again, thanks for your help.

You might get more stiffness by cross bracing.

Joseph,

The underlayment is plywood either 5/8 or 3/4. I am not sure. The joists are crossbraced if that is what you are telling me. If not, please explain.

Thank you for your help Joseph.
