Can it be true.....

After much thought ive taken the jump and am using dural membrne on monday for the first time. Was in buying it a couple of days ago from topps and was told, wait for it......That as long as the floor has no vertical movement in it be used instead of ply! So on top of chipboard goes down flexi addy then the membrane then tile on top so works out costing the same to tile floor with ply as to tiling with membrane. I still cant beleive it so like i said as long as theres no vertical movement and floor is bounce free ply is not required when using this and it also provides a waterproof element as well.:hurray:

Is this a dream???

Dural from CTD..??? you sure..?

 

[DavieA]

No sorry from topps it was g mat from ctd, dural was a bit more expensive but looked better.

edited post accordingly, just as well someone proof reads my posts.

Cheers Dave

I very much doubt it.

On chipboard.. Nope.. hardi first.. I use Dural with all stone jobs.. and it is a great membrane.

 

[Stewart]

The stone suppliers I spoke of earlier are quoting the same installation jobs as me saying they can save you money by using Dural/Schluter instead of ply on chipboard floors, and that's with natural stone!

Thats what the manager said, even went to 2 stores because i didnt beleive it either but both said as long as no vertical movement its what there doing down south.

 

[DHTiling]

Ok.. if no and i mean NO deflection then it can be used..

 

[DavieA]

Yeah Stewart it seems that this could be the future from what i was hearing, I mean if the floor is bounce free and your flex addy can stick o chipboard why shouldnt it work??

Dangerous place my mind.....

 

[DHTiling]

Dural, like any other membrane of this type is to cope with lateral stress.. hence it needs to be deflection free.

Its not happening anywhere near any of my jobs and they're all south

I know people who use it over floorboards but not chipboard.
