Plastic ply used it but not sure about it!!!

No wonder the guy gave it to me for nothing. Got ten packs, and at £15 per pack i might sell it on flea bay.

Floor completely failed, but that was also down to fixer error. It was installed on top of chipboard and t&g floorboards, with a 5mm trowel used to fix travertine. The floor was failing before the guy finished and asked the customer not to install their washing machine as it would damage the tiles. the other floor I ripped up had too much movement in it for the pp to cope with. I know a tiler who swears by it and uses it on all his timber floors and told me he hasn't had one failure....!

My local tile shop had a demo of it. They had used plastic ply on top of a pallet and tiled it. They then asked you to jump up and down on it to see if it failed and a lot of peeps were impressed that the tiles didn't break. I thought they were cheating as they used one of the hardest porcelain tiles and didn't grout the joints.....!

I thimk the last thread I contributed to regarding this stuff, my reply was no blue tack for me. Nothing has changed:mad2:

got a lovely job coming up of approx 150msq very unlevel floor, literally the floorboards are out of the ark. Looks like the whole building has melted! anyway, N+C have specced plastic ply with pourable thickbed adhesive for us to build up to 30mm. They are confident that its gonna be okay, and everything installation-wise will be done by the book. Personally, I am looking forward to using this stuff, and of course, richer or poorer I will report back when the job is done and dusted.

ive used the genesis g flex which is the equivelant, had the same worries as you ,adhesive not in contact with floor,
i went straight over new floor boards as specified,problem i found was coming to grout next day adhesive had not dried
the water from the addy has no where to go, because of the film of plastic or whatever it is on the bottom of the mat.
went down a dream, just peel back off and lay brickbond
wait and see if its any good

What do you mean "water has got no where to go"? Thats only if you're using "TUBBED" stuff, which of course as you know is not suitable for floors.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I had a Nicobond rep came to see me today (nice guy) but I'm still not convinced about this stuff. Just wondered if anyone has any updates, good/bad?

It's still rubbish IMO.....

Even though I have never/ will never use it I agree Stewart, can't see how it could overcome deflection.
