Wedi Boards

[Stef]

Going to fix 6mm Wedi board on to my shower room floor, Query about screws, can u use turbo golds without washers to mechanically fix the floor.

Nope, needs washers IMO.. I would prefer to use min 10mm on floors.

The screw head is too small to grip the board. Using washers is a must.....

Tight? Im Scottish, ha.
I saw on a post a while ago about someone fixing boards with turbo golds but never mentioned washers.

Dave, ive ripped up my full floor & must have added about 200m of wood, put down 18mm ply & overboard with 6mm wedi, the floor is totally deflection free, just spent 2 days doing it.

I would use washers though.. i use 9 per board on 10mm.. Marmox ( Boards i use) say 6 per board i recall right..

Where do you buy your screws & washers? i bought the wedi then looked at marmox on PHG, would have been cheaper through PHG but i was meant to tile a week ago so didnt think i could wait. having hassle with my shower etc so it probably wont get tiled now till next week.

You can get them from PHG.. he has just got some screws in today.. not on the web site but phone to enquire...

I'm always overkill with screws and washers and usually put in 15. I know it's too much, but I can't help myself.
