Re: Naughty Dot & Dab!

Would of been done by now but took up the laminate and found chipboard... i think it was glued down tried to prie one paeic up but wouldnt come... not much bounce so went n orderd 5.5mm wbp laid them staggerd glued n screwed floors nice ,flat and level and am now a quater of the way through....... (ash braces for a slating) lol. Didnt use cement boards as she didnt want to fork out so went for the cheaper option. Hope this method was ok

Re: Naughty Dot & Dab!

I always try to over board with 15mm or thinker. And cross bond it with gap between the boards. But if the customer doesn't want the extra cost then she has to be aware it won't be BS standard.

Re: Naughty Dot & Dab!

15mm ok mate will keep that in mind... will the 5.5 be ok u think? Cheers

 

[High Peak Tiling]

The main reasons for over boarding is to eliminate any deflection (Bounce)
Rigid the whole sub-straight.

5.5 is rather thin and doesn't have much weight or strength in comparison to the minimum BS standard 15mm.

If you go ahead with the thin ply, make sure the chip board is fully screwed down. Screw the ply cross bonded to the chip board every 300 mm.
Prime the whole sheets of ply before tiling.
But being tiles and wood not being natural bed flows I don't recommend it.

I'd be worried about the ply de laminating especially been so thin.
