Some times brian it is how a post is worded and how it is read.. then the reader takes it different to what another reader does.. try not to get offended by others as it is not always an insult to your intelligence or your knowledge.. but sometimes it is.. but that is the way forums can be..

As they say..Chill..!!

You keep telling your self your right m8 but it dose not mean you are. Your advice is the only thing on this thread that is pathetic. You hurl insults around and make out like you are the only one in the world that knows any thing about the trade. You are talking rubbish and you know it. You do not have the courage of your convictions as you cant offer one good reason for using 10mm ply and that is because there is non.

screw the floor boards down and screw 12mm ply over the top, staple eml mesh over the ply wood then tile it with ardex x16 with ardion 90 mixed in it thats how we did it 25 years ago nowadays though I would over board it with backer board

deano no need for the insults pal act your age and grow a pair a forum is for advice not a slanging match now trot on theres no need for it :ban:

The market is flooded with cheap imported ply these days, prone to leeching, de-laminating and warping. I for one prefer not to take the risk on my jobs of using it. It's hardiebacker for me. Also I like the idea of a bed of adhesive underneath it to nullify any voids that you can get with ply, even screwed every 4". (30 + years for me )

 

[The D]

And you still have not come up with a single solatery reason for using 10mm ply
