As long as all edges have a stud fising, you should be fine with 12mm and 300/400 centers.

Brilliant. I'll go with that pattern from the video. Luckily I'd only wasted one board before realising it wasn't right and I'm exchanging the remaining boards for 20mm.

If space isn't an issue.. but 12mm is fine with the correct studding. 3 x 2 CLS maybe cheaper then exchanging for 20mm Jacko. Let us know how you get on

 

[DavidJ]

Yes CLS is quite a bit cheaper but for me it would be a lot more labour intensive. It's easier just to get the right boards and not give myself more work to do!

Update: I exchanged the boards for 20mm and put them up. They now form a nice sturdy surface.

Unfortunately I spent the last 3 days wonder what the horrible smell was and if I'd somehow damaged the soil pipe. I took some of the boards down and put them in a cupboard. And they've stank out the cupboard!

Ever come across smelly backer boards?

 

[Flintstone]

Yes they are faulty! There was a thread about it a bit ago if i remember correctly. Something to do with the coating

 

[Blunt Tool]

They coat them with formaldehyde that is what you are smelling

So could that be death by backer boards!
