Naughty Dot & Dab! Tiling on Grand Designs

Re: Naughty Dot & Dab!

We will just have to see now stef whats done is done im doing the hallway wd so will advise to use a thicker ply. Thanks for the advise people as always its appreciated

Why use ply?, fix the substrate & use Hardie 250 (6mm) then there's no height issue & it will work out cheaper than ply.
I would always opt for a cement board or similar over ply any day..

Re: Naughty Dot & Dab!

And i wanted to fix the chipboard down to the joists but its something i dont know how to do wish i did. Dont know how to find the joists or would you just follow the joints?... only issue with doing that i think would be maybe hitting a pipe tho.

Floors will prob be in at 600 centres, look for a line of nails along the centre of the sheet & that's the joist.
Normally there should be minimum bounce on the floor & overboard with 6mm Hardie, glued & screwed, it's not always the case..

I think if you make sure its fully primed and screwed down well and not used in an area where there is moisture it 'might' do the job. I wouldn't risk it imho but thats my view.

Re: Naughty Dot & Dab!

I searched the net before ali looking for the price of hardi boards and the first price i came across was either exactly or not far from £36 after that didnt search the price again. Will deffinately be using this in the future for a tiling surface.

To be fair Ash you do yourself no favors!

Re: Naughty Dot & Dab!

Teabag, you have spent hours on here researching asking questions,then you tell everyone you are using thin ply to overboard,and have to ask if this is ok. Then to state you don't know how to screw down the chipboard to the joists??? Really? I suggested a while back you put up some pictures of your work so we could see what sort of job you can do.not seen any yet.............

Re: Naughty Dot & Dab!

Ive posted pics before and they got slated wasnt the worst tiling and most importantly my tiling is safe. What did i do ali lol? I was just joking in the last post nothing bad was inteded to come across.

 

[Dan]

Keep the thread on topic now lads please.

 

[Stef]

I saw the repeat on Saturday night,
Just goes to show that a good looking job can hide a multitude of sins..

On the subject of me posting about 6mm ply, incase anyone is reading it wrong,

It is not advisable to tile to 6mm ply, British Standard state minimum overlay should be 15mm.

Personally I try not to tile onto any thickness of ply as Cement Boards are far more suitable.
