    Just installed no more ply.

    Hi I’m a total beginner. I had a builder fit some laminate in dining room and while he did that he noticed we had the tiles for the hallway. Long story short he did the tiling but after few months we had grout coming up and tiles coming loose. Then discovered he hadn’t put anything over the top...

    Previous owners tiles onto ply

    The previous owners had a bathroom boxin tiled onto ply. On day 1 of moving in I had them off as they were hanging on by the grout so unsafe. I'm indifferent toward the tiles but is there any way to fix new tile without going over with a tile backer board? As the tiles are all cut to see I...

    Tile directly on 6mm ply?

    Hi, Advise needed please... We are renovating our house and the builders have secured our floor boards and then glued and screwed 6mm ply board on top. Can we use flexible adhesive directly on that or would we need to add another layer first? Many thanks, Matt

    22mm No More Ply or ply and cement board

    Hi All, I’ve searched endlessly for an answer to this and can’t seem to find an answer, so I thought I’d bite the bullet and ask. We’re redoing our en-suite and have found that the existing flooring has completely disintegrated, so it’s gotta go. We’ve got two options: 22mm No More Ply...

    Thinnest backer board? 3mm ply?

    Hi, I'm looking for a super-thin backer board, in order to tile a stud wall on both sides and have one tile (60mm wide) on each end. Haven't found anything less than 6mm, so I'm wondering whether I have to go with 3mm ply (not a recommended substrate I know) The stud wall is only 600mm long...

    Tiling the side of bath

    I’m tiling around a bath. The backing board is ply and is slightly wobbly. Should I secure it before I start tiling? The trouble is if I secure it then it’s not level as the bottom of the backing board sticks out slightly. If I leave it slightly wobbly then I will get a straighter...
