5mm ply no good???? What planet are you lot living on? I have tiled hundreds of floors using 5mm ply screwed every 4" and have not ever had a single one fail.

All this use 15mm ply cobblers is just that - Cobblers.

Who wants a 15mm ply, + 5mm adhesive + upto 10mm = 30mm thick onking great step in their doorway? :mad2:

You seem very angry StevieBoy. By my reckoning a 6mm backer board glued and screwed = right around 7/8mm + 3mm tile adhesive= 11mm max. If your floor is prepared correctly you should not be using 5mm/ 10mm adhesive bed.

I see by your profile you have been tiling 16yrs, no offence mate but I know tilers who have been tiling 45yrs as I have, the difference is they are still doing it wrong. You should not really be giving bad advice on a forum like this, It gives newbies the wrong idea. And rubs the real pro's up the wrong way, I would advise you to search the forum threads, and maybe BS5385-3:2007 clauses6.3.4.2 or 6.3.4.3 and in the Tile Association document " Tiling to Timber and Timber based products.Plywood should conform to BS EN 636-3 which supersedes the current requirements for WBP plywood. Just my take on it.

Cheers phil... so so many who have done it for yrs and yrs who think they know better and will not do it to BS no matter who or what info tells them.

Oh my deary deary me - what are you going on about giving bad advice ???

I have only in the first instance given MY opinion for this particular job.
Whether that is right or wrong who is to say?

What I do know, is that all the floors that I have tiled in this way - have never failed in anyway shape or form. I have as you have already noted been tiling for 16 years now, and as I said in my very first post you never stop learning in this trade I know that, I am not that Green!

Different tilers do all sorts of things in different ways, which way is right who's to say?

You have to laugh really

Well thats not very nice coming from as I see on your avatar, an Established tiler, Trusted advisor, etc - is that how you speak to customers? - If you even have any

Pmsl ,

I'll leave you to your ways , hopefully your customers trust them.

But let's male it very clear , your 5mm ply is NOT up to BS5385 practice and offers Zero deflection stabilising to any timber floor.

Good luck with your methods, after all those years they must be right.. :lol:

You know I am sure I could walk across the main road outside my house with my eyes closed ....probably get away with it a few times and then one day !!!!

I suggest you do your work the way you want but dont publish it here....Some people may actually take it serious.
