Ye used it on a new build 6.5m bathroom did what it said on the tin.

Personally I think it has a place in rooms of around this size especially in new homes untill people get used to its handling and the idea of it.

found this on youtube...doesn't say a lot so I can't identify the benefits, but the initial PVA bond worries me.

Can anyone shed some light as to why you would use it please?

I agree, but I'm still unclear of why and benefits.....

Would it get round the chipboard problem on floors

I think it is N&Cs version of a "decoupling" system. If you check out their data sheet for the product you will still need to ensure the "floor is adequately braced" and can accpt the loads put onto it. Seems to me they have completely misintepreted the need for 15mm ply in that case as this is used to brace floors to add strength.

Hi basically the PVA / primer is to seal any dusty areas that are apparent after brushing down the surface .I have used plastic ply from the beginning ,trialing it for my local branch ,and as some one has said it does what it says on the tin .I have used it it on floating floors in excess of 30 sq mtrs ,floor boards ,weyroc floors and even ware wood floors have joined into screed.As long as the instructions are followed you won't find a better or easier product to use on the market and it's only 2mm thick.:hurray::hurray:
