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 so it 'seems' solid.

I have some no more ply to go over it and the mega strength adhesive. Should I bite the bullet and change the floor?
 
Ok Tom I get what you mean now, I see you mean the actual picture showing the chap installing tiles not the diagram which I thought you meant.

So yes you are right thats an old picture and SHOULD show the tape over the joints.

Great spot and apologies over the confusion

The thing was proof read by several people but you spot an error. Already emailed marketing to look at getting that image changed ahead of the next print run. Thanks again
