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
I'm tiling onto wbp ply with cement based adhesive, do I need to prime it first? and if yes could I get away with an sbr primer or should I be using a grit primer?
Hi everyone
I have to tile onto a 18mm WBP wall. No choice. Its the way the original shower cubicle was designed. There isnt the space to line with an aqua board over the top of the ply.
Please... Can someone tell me what to use as a primer in this instance.
Thanks
Tom
Got quite a lot of levelling to do on a large floor up to 6mm thick on a floor to be laid on 18mm WBP. Just wanted to see what you guys would recommend SLC wise as do not want to trowel up with adhesive as it will take forever as the floor is all over the place.

very quick and probably simple question, can the shower tray be cemented onto a HB250 or does it have to be straight to ply. Doesn't make much difference for me either way, just that I have enough HB to to allow it.

Hi,
Just wondering how i should raise the plywood level so it is flush with the edge of the showertray?
Should i use 4mm ply and screw it down?
Should i glue the ply down, if so what glue should i use?
Should i use some kind of poured / self levelling compound?
Thanks,
James.
