Suspended Timber Floor Tile Prep

I agree. Joists are down and it’s going to be dificult to get underneath

You wouldn’t tend to add sleepers afterwards. Considering a sleeper wall is constructed, then S&C, then DPC then more S&C and then a section of 4” x 2” on its side which is then screwed/nailed into from the joists above- I can’t see how adding a sleeper wall would work easily after the joists are down.

Agreed, if it were a clean slate then different story! I've got plenty of time, but at least I can weigh up the options of making this installation tile suitable.

Take noggins out and double up the 4 x 2. It’s fairly simple and cheap. Where are you getting timber from locally

BPS normally in Leam. No particular reason other than locality. Theres a TP and an MK nearby as well.

I'd leave the perimeter noggins and joint supports in place. I wont be able to span the same length as I have UFH pipes in the way so I'll have to come up maybe 4 inches short.

Bps are great. Don’t use anyone else

That’s because they’re completely different products.
And have different functions.

I will go and read up. Looks like same sort of height increase so maybe a more suitable product for this substrate, and use Ditra over the concrete.

Always had good prices/service/delivery. Occasionally get the odd bit of ropey timber but its not often.

I get all my materials from them when I need that kind of thing
