Overboard the ply!
No i dont overboardDo you not overboard ply then @Brian the Tile
No i don't overboard, now lets see how may say i don't know what I'm talking about, you don't need me to tell you all you can tile on ply just ask the adhesive manufacturers then you can all tell them they don't know what they are talking about either ,to some on here experience counts for nothing,don't know how i have managed all these years ha ha haDo you not overboard ply then @Brian the Tile
Any way Merry Christmas to you all ive been working my wotsits off while you have all found time to spend on here mmmmmmmm very strange dont understand all theese great tilers that spend most of there time on here,can only get on at night,must be doing something right believe it or not lol
Not at all Plan toc done and dusted oh and polished worked that hard i got a day in front,not often that happens,thought i was going to be having mi Christmas dinner with customers, .......g kitchen fittersBad day at the office Brain!?
Brian I kinda get where you’re coming from because for years we did things that worked just fine and made sense. One problem we have here with this situation imo is that not everybody is doing things by the tried and tested methods of old. One of the biggest culprits is the manufacturers of the ply sheets we are offered to work with. They simply aren’t what they used to be. The quality of ply by and large now can’t be compared to the ply that would have been the bedrock of the construction industry whilst I was a tea boy. Taking that into account the substandard material that we now have on offer to us we have to evaluate it and consider if it is in fact the best option and to be frank nowadays it’s not. In years gone by I successfully tiled onto ply, as it WAS the best option, now due to penny pinching, technological advancements and market forces the general quality of the ‘ plywood’ that’s on offer today falls a long way short of its predecessor.Not many fish biting tonight,mmmmm must all be busy
So you're not really this ignorant and stubborn then Brian but merely fishing? I bet you don't fix a tile without rls and fix to nothing barring KerdiNot many fish biting tonight,mmmmm must all be busy
great post well put,but i know people on here think I'm stuck in the dark ages but believe me i wouldn't use anything in any customers house that i wouldn't use in my own home and most of my ground floor is tiled on ply ,good quality ply good quality adhesive and grout dont get me wrong i have used backer board also i dont have a problem either way but what i do object to is these know all know nothings telling me and good money paying customers that no you cannot do it like i say yours is a great post,i will await now the tirade of abuse lolBrian I kinda get where you’re coming from because for years we did things that worked just fine and made sense.

So on that note I have to reccomend that we no longer consider plywood to be the best or cheapest soloition as a substrate to tile upon.
