Just click on the picture above, That will move you on the flickr site, Than you can see the picture in the full size 3000x4000px.

9mm ply fixed with 3 inch screws, gap around the perimeter is around 5-10mm, you can see it next to shower tray, the rest is under skirtings.

So true...

Thank for opinions guys,
So I will centre whole floor to get mirrored cuts both sides of the room like whitebeam said

Could be a bit of an overkill...BS states 15mm ply..

As above, just be aware that 9mm is not recommended for boarding floors.

i think the pro carpenter should have known how to board a floor better than to leave a joint in the middle and a crappy piece in the doorway

:lol: not beating around the bush then Barry?

beware of the 9mm ply gonna be too much flex in the floor. I always use 18mm wbp screwed at 300 centres then cover with 5.5mm wbp screwed at 15mm centres.

[Time's Ran Out]

Just to make it interesting I'd lay them on a covering of waterproof Tile backer board and to have impact in a diamond pattern! :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Furtek]

Diamond pattern looks cool but customer wants to match checker from other bathroom.

Anyway floor is done. I'll show u pictures on monday
