Hi.
I recently removed all my old floorboards and replaced with 18mm Marine Ply.
This I thought was the best thing to do as advised in other posts on other forums and on here.
I have now seen contradictory advice.
The room is 1.6mx3m and most of the floorspace will be taken up by sink,basin and bath. It's a jack 'n Jill style room with a 1.6m length walkway between two opposite doors.
I have drilled the boards at 150mm centres directly to joists and put nuggins in accross the joins.
The thing that I didn't do was seal the edges and underneath. The bathroom is above a living room.
I plan to tank the walls of the shower/bath area.
There is no option of replacing the marine ply as it's now in place and would need cutting up to get out.
I was thinking of tanking the floor too. (Not a wetroom but to make it splashproof as I don't want water damage into living room below)
Would Ditra matting be recommended for this?
I have seen the un-coupling membrane? Is this designed specifically for this application? I've read about warping and obviously the cracking issues so any advice from where to go.
Any recomendations?
Thanks.
