Im never using ply again...

[cam_low]

I have had to cut ply for 70m of floor and boxing. I am sick of the sight of the stuff and have been wanting to make the transition to using cement boards.

However with my current job I have to price the floor including boarding over the weyroc due to its deflection and rises.

There is a floor to meet of Karndean at 12mm at the hallway door.

The guy is also wanting a price with and without UFH, another tiler has quoted him nearly £800 for the kit and controller !!!

The new kitchen is going in in around 6 weeks. I think I have bagged the job with the amount of time I was there chatting about life in general and the things we have in common.

What is the best way to construct this floor. Shall I board the floor then use matting, slc then tile ?
Shall I tile straight onto the matting. cement boards, insualtion or what !!!!

Cheers.

Are you going to replace the chip board with ply or lay the play over the top?

I am going to ply over the weyroc

what size do the bb come in and how much are they in relation to the £17 a sheet I pay for 12mm wpb ply

 

[AliGage]

6mm and 12mm i believe.

From what you described in your post am i right in thinking you were planning to o/b the chipboard with ply, then cement board and ditra?

Do you want to try and match the height after tiling as close as the hallway?

hes not really fussed he just wants his floor to be as secure and deflection free as possible.

No-more ply is a good backer board and comes in 6mm, 9mm, and 12mm thickness and comes with a really strong glue that goes in a silicone gun and stick the board down and then just use a few screws to hold it down. It's a really great product.

Oh and with the no-more ply you can use 6mm on the weyrock floor and tile straight onto it using a flexi adhesive.
