Hi All,
Been renovating my house for the last four years and have nearly got around to doing the bathrooms!!!
Just wanted some advice on my approach to installing the Tuff2 former...
The problem i have is that the joists the former will be sitting on are not level and to make things worse are also twisted. I spent the best part of the weekend trying the level these but still haven’t got there yet so I've decided on a different approach. I thought it would be easier to screw down some 9.5mm ply, seal and level using slc (fball 700), then place the tuff2 former over the levelled floor and screw it down along the joists.
The reason I want to use the 9.5mm ply is that head height is an issue!!
I guess my main questions are
1. Does this sound like a reasonable approach?
2. Should only the perimeter of the tuff2 former be screwed? or can i also screw in the middle of it as well? (screwing down along the joists)
3. What is the best way to cut the former? Jigsaw? What type of blade should I be using?
4. What tolerance should I be looking to achieve in terms of the "level ness" of the former?
Hopes this makes sense
Cheers
