I will get some stick maybe for saying this....but if you were to use 9mm exterior grade ply screwed down at 100mm intervals .....I promise this will work ....they do say use a lot thicker ply but it is not needed and makes to much of a step leading into bathroom......good luck.....ps adhesive has to be flexi
Hahaha...I said I would get some stick.....BS does say 15mm but 9mm put down properly works.......I have done hundreds of bathrooms and never once had a cracked tile......with this in mind ... why not use it ?Can't believe you said 9mm ply, exterior or what ever to use....BS states 15mm minimum.
& the last twice I've tiles to ply I've had issues with cracked grout lines.Hahaha...I said I would get some stick.....BS does say 15mm but 9mm put down properly works.......I have done hundreds of bathrooms and never once had a cracked tile......with this in mind ... why not use it ?
well with this in mind I dont know where near fife he may get hardiboards but although not up to BS standards (9mm exterior grade ply will do the job nicely so long as it screwed down in 100mm squares..........so they now know its not up to BS but will do the job with no issuesRufus - the problem is it's not what you've done for years without any issues, its what's BS recommended that should be advised.
For years my local tile distributor stocked 6mm plywood! Now it's got 2 new displays of Hardiboard racks and no plywood to be seen.
If your not sure ask, but don't give incorrect information as an alternative.
I agree with removing the boards if you can. I replaced with 22mm STS construction boards t&g which I’ve found to be superb . So stable and great for tiles particularly with UFHRemove rubbish chipboard floor boards and replace with 18mm wbp ply.
Fix blanke permat and you're good.
