what thickness of ply?

[westcoast tiler]

Floors I use 6mm ply screwed 100 centers, prime and then use Bal
2 part flexi never had a problem.

Walls marine Ply is best but you con use mosture tolorant plaster
board for the cheaper option.

I spoke to the nomoreply guy recently and quizzed him over their 6mm board before I used it on a kitchen floor. I asked how can it be as strong as 18mm ply and he said by itself it's not, but when used with their glue and screws it is.

They have SAID that before but as yet they have provided no documentation backing up the statement!
