Hello,
I have another problem now.
The tiles in the hallway and kitchen are glued onto a particle board. Underneath this particle board are the original floorboards.
We want to install new tiles in both rooms. If we level the floor and glue the new tiles on top, the floor height will be too high and the doors will no longer fit. Also, there would be a 3cm (1.2 inches) height difference compared to the other rooms.
I have tried to remove the tiles, but only small corners break off and the particle board also gets damaged.
I would also like to remove the board.
What would you do? Maybe cut it out piece by piece?
Thank you very much for the help.

There are still 3 opinions:
By now, all old beams and floorboards have been removed and the concrete ceiling is exposed.
1. New beams as support spaced 40cm (16 inches) apart, with leveling fill in between, then tongue-and-groove OSB panels on top. For tiling, possibly glue a decoupling mat?
This is the cheapest option, but I’m not sure how well the tiles will hold on the OSB panels or if they might crack.
2. New beams as support spaced 40cm (16 inches) apart, with leveling fill in between, then dry screed boards. For tiling, either glue a decoupling mat or lay tiles directly on top?
Slightly more expensive than option 1 but might be better for tiling?
3. New beams as support spaced 40cm (16 inches) apart, with leveling fill in between, then OSB panels, with dry screed boards on top. For tiling, either glue a decoupling mat or lay tiles directly on top?
Very expensive but the most stable option.
What are your expert opinions?
By the way: Is €1700 for tiling 26 m² (280 ft²) reasonable? Price without tiles.
Thank you very much for your help.
