    No more ply (NMP) or Hardiebacker over wet UFH

    Hi, I am replacing a tiled floor and will need to overlay with 6mm backer board. This is on top of 15mm ply over wet UFH in dry screed. I need a backer board with the highest k-value (lowest R-value). So far from the data sheet 6mm hardiebacker has a k-value of 0.19W/mK. Does anyone know...

    18mm WBP ply prior to tiling

    I’ve bought 18mm WBP ply for the bathroom to fix directly to the joists and got noggins every 400mm. Is this base ok to tile onto with flexible adhesive and grout? It’s having electric UFH too. The reason I went for 18mm is because it’s 18mm floorboards running to it at the door threshold. Thanks

    15mm ply on bathroom floor

    I've discovered the existing bathroom floor is only 15mm ply. I believe this is thinner than regulation requires. The adjoining chip board on the landing appears to be slightly thicker. The previous owner had laid cheap tiles directly on the ply which, to their credit, hadn't cracked in 4 years...

    12mm Ply + Cement board + Tiles on stud wall

    Do you think, from floor to ceiling, 12mm thick plywood plus 12mm thick cement board (e.g. Hardiebacker type board or similar) plus metro tiles is a tolerable weight to be attached to timber stud? Wall would be 1 metre wide by 2.3 metre high

    Apologies this is so long winded, but hopefully you're an understanding bunch & you'll stick with the novel and provide a straight opinion on this. I'm a competent DIY'er (ex-spark), but it's a while since I've done any DIY tiling at home. I'm now re-doing the kitchen floor/walls in a 1960’s...

    20mm brick slips on 12mm ply

    hi all, Looking for some advice. Tiling 20mm thick brick slips onto 12mm ply wood on the walls. It is fixed very well. I am just wondering what prep people would do and what adhesive you would use. Changing the ply for plasterboard or hardi is not a option.

    ive boarded about 30 sheets worth today, I'm covered in the dodgy dust, it's up my nostrils even tho I've had a mask on most of the day, my fingers are covered in glue, my back aches. My ears are ringing from using impact drill all day. Anyone else love it like I do?
