I need advice on wet room floor? - TilersForums.com

[Tiling Anorak]

ply is fine nothing was getting through that plastic flooring!!

If its a wet room, yeah you want to tank the entire floor

How thick is the ply which I understand is directly on joists

 

[Tiling Anorak]

18mm i think that it is on floorboards for most of the room not sure about drain area

Worth checking, I must admit I would go for a tray, Tuff2 is a solid one then tank the whole floor.

There's no deflection on the floor by the way

 

[Tiling Anorak]

dont understand what you mean by deflection on the floor

 

[White Room]

Bounce

 

[Tiling Anorak]

I,m bouncing what next

 

[Tiling Anorak]

no seriously floor is solid

 

[White Room]

Fill a glass or cup of water to the brim then place on the floor, then jump up and down and see how much water you lose.

This will give an indication how much bounce you have

Im going to have to agree with whitebeam, if you can replace the ply with a tray It would be a good idea. Ply isnt the best substrate to tile onto at the best of times and I wouldnt want anything that can rot in a wet area

Just bumping some of the older popular (sometimes not so popular) threads. Probably wont be current discussion these days but I just need to do it. So just ignore the thread if it's not current for you.
