Can anyone give me feedback as to whether this layout would work for our floors? It’s unconventional as we are laying XPS on top of our concrete slab and want to have granite stone tile floors. We are thinking of adding 75x50 treated pine between the XPS so that we have something to nail the FC sheets to other than the XPS. Also thinking the timber might help mitigate any flex the FC and XPS could have?

looks experimental to me, reinforced screed would be a better option or even better insulate between ground and structural slab. I would not put granite over that, underfoot will sound hollow.
