Plywood or Hardiebacker or NoMorePly

[Bathfix Bob]

Yes but screw the floor firmly down, 4x50mm screws in the joists not through pipes or cables.

Hello Lads,

I would appreciate your professional advice.

It has been suggested that I use ply and put Ditra on top.

I have tested the floor with a lazer level and there does not appear to be any deflection. I found some info in old posts about L360 code and have worked the maximun deflection to be around L500 and the allowed deflection is L360 so all looks good.

Do you think ply and Ditra is over the top as there is little deflection and should I stick with Hardi or No More Ply.

Any help is appreciated

Hardiebacker.....all the way
And anyway Ditra would only help with lateral movement.
