Would 6mm hardibacker do the job then? Thanks for your replyForget 6mm ply. That's just plain crazy! Either level over the pipes and fibre board with 6mm of quality leveler, or fix 6mm cement boards with a flexible adhesive.
I've used it before to overlay polypipe boards and I've had no issues. I used ditra over that too for extra peace of mind.Would 6mm hardibacker do the job then? Thanks for your reply
So if I scrap the 6mm ply, fix 6mm hardibacker, then some ditra mat, I should be sweet to go?I've used it before to overlay polypipe boards and I've had no issues. I used ditra over that too for extra peace of mind.
that's good Mark, how you know it was poypipe boards from the description?I've used it before to overlay polypipe boards and I've had no issues. I used ditra over that too for extra peace of mind.
From working closely with our manufacturing partners we've established that a self levelling compound over our panels is fine to do. Our fibre panels are the only ones manufactured to be stuck down and are recommended to be stuck down, unlike polypipe systems who are just laid flat before tiling.Check with the manufacturer first R:E using SLC, if it is anything like Polypipe they don't like you using it over the top of the panels because they say it can dislodge the pipe and (I'm not 100% on this) but I believe doing so can invalidate your warranty.
Are your panels fermacell / Gypsum firbreboard too Jake?
And you're right, a lot of people who buy Polypipe off us regularly fix it down with adhesive or screws for additional stability.
I could never understand the rationale of the SLC dislodging pipe as it is such a snug fit.. No doubt that being able to apply levelling compound over the top is so much easier and better for the installer.
