Hi All, I’ve searched endlessly for an answer to this and can’t seem to find an answer, so I thought I’d bite the bullet and ask.

We’re redoing our en-suite and have found that the existing flooring has completely disintegrated, so it’s gotta go.

We’ve got two options: 22mm No More Ply floorboards or 18mm ply and 6mm cement board or similar over. There’s only a slight difference in cost.

From what I’ve read, I know some people aren’t a big fan of No More Ply products and I assume that I haven’t seen it recommended or discussed much. I’m guessing that’s because most people have a usable subfloor.

Which one would be best to use?

Hi Paul, thanks so much for the speedy reply. Would you not bother giving the 22mm a try? Is it just a gimmick? I thought it might cut out the labour and amount of things that might go wrong to just use one material.

I wasn't even aware you can get 22mm nomore ply mate.
When it's a timber subfloor like plywood or chipboard I always use a cement board of some sort on top of it, gives me better peace of mind, I'd rather put in the little bit extra labour.
