New Floor

[liverplum]

I don't like the description of this floor one bit, its rare to find such damage without also finding an underlying problem.

So I spoke to the customer and it turns out what he meant was the chipboard that has been laid on top of the floor boards to put the lino on was rotten - the bath had not been properly sealed - and the boards themselves are fine. :hurray:

Sounds like we are good to go.

Anyone else sat through the Ditra talk where it explains it like a loose layer of sand?

Yeah, I sat through that. The worlds first UFH.

Just a quick further question....would you guys always put adhesive under and screw the Hardibacker board or just screw it if it's going directly on to floorboards?

I suppose it depends how level the boards are?

I always put adhesive under and screw down, it avoids any voids this way

Well thats great fella's...I may try the nomoreply or just adhesive and screw the hardibacker.

Thanks very much for all your help. Top Stuff. :hurray:
