I have read how to install tile over plywood flooring at various
websites.
They say the maximum floor joist should be 16" on center with 'a
maximum deflection of 1/360 of the span, at midpoint.'
What does this mean? 1/360th of an inch movement (up & down) between
joist?
I saw this at Super-Tek.com
Thanks,

What it means is that the allowable deflection of your floor is
1/360 of the span.
Example: span = 360"
360 / 360 = 1"
allowable deflection at the center of the span is 1"
