    under-tile ply minimum thickness

    Hi all, I'm doing a spot of DIY in the bathroom and need a bit of reassurance: Is 18mm ply strong enough for tiles over 2" thick joists spaced 360mm between centres? The tiles will be 300x600x10mm and there'll be a layer of decoupling membrane between them and the ply. Cheers, James

    Ply subfloor query

    I am currently quoting on a level access wet room on the ground floor of a property. The floor is currently concrete. Although another company has quoted to install a ply subfloor, would that mean they are planning on lifting the concrete?
