I am considering tiling my kitchen floor, but we have floorboards throughout the ground floor.

What might I need to do in order for this to work? Is 1/2" ply on top of the boards the way forward, or is there a better base layer to start with?

Cheers!
 
I'm in 2 minds about doing this at the moment. I don't really want to rip the boards up, but want something that'll last a while. Trying to do this on the relative cheap probably doesn't help! Also, I can't seem to find any ply stated as being WBP anywhere. Is it also known as something else or am I looking in the wrong places?

I might look into laminate as an alternative.
 
I think I'll be biting off more than I can chew by tearing up the boards. Costs will quickly start escalating too, and I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible, but with at least a nod to longevity of the floor. Laminate will probably be the way forward as a happy medium. I can't go tearing up the kitchen floor really, not with a 10-week old baby in the house and constant access needed to the kitchen.
