Hi everyone, newbie here, have had previous tiling experience and decided to give it another go, although this time self-employed. Have recently taken a crash course to scratch up on skills and give myself a better foundation of knowledge, cannot wait to get started. I’m still a little...

It feels like there is a constant asking about the suitability of cement board in wet areas. "Will they be ok in my wet room?" "Should I tank them?" etc etc etc Can I attempt to clear up the confusion - much of which comes from the manufacturers and the builder's merchants who sell the stuff...

Hi all, Just curious to know what people think about using wedi board on floor boards/bathroom floors. I currently use no more ply 6mm glued and screwed. My local supplier does not stock no more ply but has got wedi board 6mm/12mm. Would the wedi board do a good job as no more ply or is there...

One of my suppliers is going over from stocking Hardie to NMP So I am in the process of looking up info on NMP and comparing the two if that is possible. Now most people are aware of the fact that you have to be careful when cutting Hardie as regards the dust when cutting the boards. But there...

I tend to use no more ply for bathroom floors. The mega strength adhesive is quite expensive, I just wondered if anybody else uses flex tile adhesive to put this down or any alternative like grip fill??? would this have the same results as no more plys product. Cheers.
