Discuss insulation board on chipboard.. in the British & UK Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.

Hi folks, have a bathroom floor with UFH to tile, substrate is well screwed down chipboard. I know normally you bed the ins' boards down onto flexi adi, I'm thinking it would be ok to glue (gripfill) and screw them down with washers in this instance.

What do you think? Otherwise I could advise i glue and screw 6mm b'board instead and they forego the ins' board (to alleviate any step caused)

Cheers

Bob

why are you concerned about putting the marmox directly on to the chipboard?
is it the moisture from the adhesive against the chipboard you are concerened about?
if you use rapidset then it dries out quicker.
you could use plastic ply first supplied by nicholls and clarke this has a sticky backing and will stop the adhesive coming into full contact with the chipboard and is only 2mm thick and then you could put your marmox over the top hope this helps:thumbsup:
