What substrate are you going over, indoors or out, flagstone?, what type, size and how thick are they, what are you doing?

Re: Ditra For Mesh Backed Pre-cut Flagstone/any Good? Remove the particle board and report back with what you have for a subfloor under that, you sure it's particle board and not OSB? What size are the joists and their unsupported span? |

Manufactured 2X4 I joists 16" high on 16" centers spanning 24'. Right now it's a floating wood floor with only the osb beneath.

Re: Ditra For Mesh Backed Pre-cut Flagstone/any Good?
I would try and find out from the I-Joist manufacturer or look up online if that floor will meet L/720, I doubt it, that's what's needed for stone as well as 2 layers of flooring, before a CBU or Menbrane.
