Ok I gave wedi tech line a call today to see if they still say the same thing.
They are now saying 12 mm is the minimum ply with 10 mm wedi glued and screwed.
I do need to add this is NOT a method I would ever even consider using. But the fact still renames that the manufacturer has said it is as strong as 18mm ply so I still would like to see (Gary,Ray and Lee The test lab crew) do a test to confirm or dismiss this statement. Thanks in advance from an average every day tiler

Did the spec Joist size and distance apart ? Maybe the the joist have to be min 50mm apart ? lol

They did not ask about the joist distance I just said I had a hight issue and one of there reps had told me I could use 9 mm ply and 10mm wedi and they said no it would have to be a minimum of 12mm ply and 10mm wedi and that is as good as 18mm ply.

Just bumping some of the older popular (sometimes not so popular) threads. Probably wont be current discussion these days but I just need to do it. So just ignore the thread if it's not current for you.
