PLY is a computer file format known as the Polygon File Format or the Stanford Triangle Format. It was principally designed to store three-dimensional data from 3D scanners. The data storage format supports a relatively simple description of a single object as a list of nominally flat polygons. A variety of properties can be stored, including color and transparency, surface normals, texture coordinates and data confidence values. The format permits one to have different properties for the front and back of a polygon.
There are two versions of the file format, one in ASCII, the other in binary.
Of the new NMP boards, which side comes already primed? The smooth side or the rougher side?
Is it necessary to prime the side facing down before using the mega strength adhesive? I expect the megastrength would bond better to a porous surface so I think better to fit the non primed surface...
My house was built in 2018, the floor is sheet boarded which I believe to be green chipboard. I am told these are bonded together as well as to the I joists. There is not a lot of movement but I am no expert. So I ask "is it necessary to use a product like no more ply when tiling a first floor...

Hi,
I'm installing aluminum spreader plate under floor heating between joists (1930s house), and I'm thinking of using 22mm No More Ply over the joists, then tiles.
What do you think about this setup? Is that better than ply plus a thinner backer board? Will I still get enough heat transfer...
Hi, we are getting our kitchen re-done and having the floor tiled. The previous owner has put 9mm ply down and used a vinyl over the top, however he’s plyed underneath the cabinets.

Morning guys. I’ve got my second job to start on Tuesday. It’s to tile a bathroom. Walls and floor. The walls are plastered but the joiner who has been working on the renovation has laid ply wood on the bathroom floor. He told the customer this will be fine to tile onto.

Hi. I'm after some advise. I am shortly going to be ripping out water damaged patchy chipboard flooring in our utility room. We have purchased the floor tiles ready for this. Can I use 25mm WBP ply fixed to the joists with noggins on the ends and tile straight to this or is this wrong. Any...

Hi, I have newly built shell of an extension and we are just starting first fix plumbing. The floor joists are in place but my builder and plumber seem to have a difference of opinion on the flooring for the bathroom.

Hi
I've just laid my hardiebacker down ready for my floor. As advised a short while ago. But I got wondering...is it ok to tile upon plywood (6mm) if you can cover the entire area to be tiled with one sheet of ply with no joins
Is it the joins between sheets that cause the problems?

Hello,
I am planing on using no more ply over my existing 18mm flooring to lay 600x300 porcelain tiles.
Would there be any benefit in laying 2 layers of the 6mm no more ply to create 12mm covering.
Will this make the floor stronger or is the 6mm enough.
The joist are 8x2 at 16inch...
