Hi
I am replacing some 18mm chipboard flooring in the bathroom.
I will be fitting 6mm cement board and ceramic tiles over the new chipboard flooring.
In the picture of the bathroom below, on the left hand side you can see the chipboard flooring for the bedroom.
The chipboard flooring you see on the right hand side in the picture is just there temporally so I can walk in the bathroom.
The chipboard flooring will be fitted horizontally, just how the old chipboard flooring was.
I need to support the edges of the new chipboard flooring and old chipboard flooring and I have bedrooms on both sides of the bathroom.
In the bathroom, it is difficult to fix noggins between two joists because one of the joists would be under one of the bedrooms and the joists under the bedrooms are difficult to fit noggins to.
I want to ask people please what they think of these suggestions below and if there was any better way of supporting the new and old chipboard floorings together.
To fit blocks of wood 45mm x 95mm length ways so 47.5mm will be under the new chipboard flooring and 47.5mm will be under the old chipboard flooring.
I could use 60mm long screws to go through the chipboard flooring and block of wood.
I could also fit the blocks of wood width ways. However in this case there would be more wood under the new chipboard flooring then under the old chipboard flooring because I have a limited area on the old chipboard flooring to put screws in.
When fitting the blocks of wood width ways, I could join the blocks of wood to the joists and then screw 100mm long screws from the joists to the blocks of wood.
The blocks of wood I could use will be C16 kiln dried sawn treated regularised.
Also as I am using screws, would it be necessary to use gripfill for joining all the surfaces together.
How does this all sound?
Many thanks for any advice!
