Hi all

For years now, I've been over plying chipboard floors in bathrooms, and never had any failures (to my knowledge :thumbsup:) and all is good, but recently customers have been talking to me about the raised height level etc, especially if I then overlay 4mm marmox board to repel the UFH cable heat upwards to the tile then SLC etc. So really just wondered what you all regularly do, alot of the time removing existing chipboard floor isn't cost or time effectiove especially if its tongue and groove and runs under partition walls.

So what thickness WPB do you use for overplying?
Never used it on timber but will a de-coupling membrane work well on existing chipboard?
Can I use a thinner ply if I lay a de-coupling membrane over the top?

Thanks Steve
