Plywood in tiling

[beanz]

I don't see the reason for using marine ply!?! What's wrong with strengthening the wall with stud work? Not entirely sure why they haven't tanked the whole shower area either!?!
as for whether the job is any good... Only time will tell. I wouldn't call it good tiling method. I wonder if they used a 2 part addy, or rubbed gear... Lol

lol yeh when he said he tanked the 2 ply areas that's what I thought.

Tiling to ply or timber in general should be avoided where ever possible if you are tiling to a timber substrate please refer to BS 5385 Parts 1 & 3. The TTA are currently revising a technical document which refers to tiling to boards and sheets which will include timber and backerboards. Bob Howard MBE
