Customer is not taking advice.

To be honest I'm interested in this too mate. I was trying to find out a few weeks ago about why weight limits are what they are and what are the actual results of the testing? And things like covering plasterboard in paintable waterproofer what are the weight limits then? It goes on. Basically we all know the rules and everything but even for the amount of failures we've all seen I've seen plenty of technically incorrect installations that haven't had any problems

from a mapei technical evening,they told us that keraquick would go onto 6mm ply if mixed with latex plus,but not officially of course(how do they know this?)of course nobody on here is going to say that they do this,or ever tile on anything less than 15mm, or not agree with bs standards or manufacturers reccomendations,because just like them if it goes wrong ,and they gave the advice then .......!!!!!,but ive been tiling for near on 30 yrs and i would say i have only seen ply used at 15mm or above a handful of times,make of it what you will,bostik rep told me that they know full well that anything over twelve is hardly used,due to the reasons you point out,ie step etc,,anyway with new methods ie hardy backer board etc,then you can get a strong floor with less height.

Been subbing for a firm lately and the architect they are working for keeps speccing things like 25mm ply and other overkill requirements. From my point of view it's bloody marvellous!!
