plastic ply

[Spud]

I keep getting sales calls about nicobond plastic ply ,I have explained to the rep who calls me that at £8.50 sqm trade its too expensive and i am not convinced that the product has any real benefits over uncoupling matting which i pay less than £4.50 a metre for and plastic ply seems actually an inferior product imo ,I offered to try it out for free but this offer was rejected, I know over 100 tilers and none of them has ever used this product ,has any tiler on this forum actually used it ? honest feedback would be appreciated

with you on this one never used it either uncoupling mats are spot on dont see the need to change!

I think there have been a few members that have tried it but I dont think the outcome was that favourable.

 

[hillhead]

Never even seen it.lol

I tiler I know swears by it, but I'm not convinced. Did a rip out this year of a trav floor that had been laid onto plastic ply and the whole thing failed.

A few pics of the trav i lifted in less than an hour for the whole floor.

Gary, I have made my veiws about this stuff clear in past posts, It is as much use as a chocolate fireguard imo. Strictly for the DIY market:ban:
