I am buying a one-off new build house which is supplied with just bare chipboard floor panels.
We want to install 600mm floor tiles with electric heating pads to give a modern, clean appearance and provide a hard wearing surface.

so far, so good, but the rooms are interestingly on three levels with risers up and down - see the pics. The stairs are typical new build, creak a little when walked on, and have a snub nose edge finish.

So the question is, can tiles be satisfactorily fitted to the risers to give a long service life?
I am concerned about the exposed edge appearance and cracking under load.

what are my options?

And if any can recommend flooring guys for this in South Devon (Brixham), would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Nic

Thanks guys, so can be done but best to strip out and start again with more solid construction.

The floors don't creak, only the risers and then only slightly with my 13 stone.

I am probably being precious.

Planning to install Tile Mountain polished porcelain 600mm. These are 1cm thick, so solid.

A friend has them in a large lounge and they look good, but no stairs.
