    Deflection check for an odd scenario. I think I am ok to tile.

    Hi, and thanks for any advice. After pulling over 900 lbs of dead weight in the center of my joists I had no deflection for tiling a bathroom floor ( roughly 6.5' x 6.5').

    DNA Test Results Back!

    Okay so I've been doing a family tree. Managed to trace one line of family back to 1535. Mostly always been in England or Wales by the looks of it. So I was getting a bit sentimentally patriotic about being British born and bred. Thought I'd do a DNA test thing to see what my geographical...

    SLIP RATING FOR FLOOR TILES IN THE UK Floorslip.co.uk recommnds minimum ptv36 as Ray has said before now. But actually it perhaps should be more than that? Who else is clued up on this?

In fact I didnt want to go and look at it, it was a nightmare due to the programme and a difficult site manager.
