Aquapanel floor - Tile Advice

[CraigH]

Hi,

My bathroom is starting to take shape so I tottered off to my local tile place yesterday, dragging the wife along to choose floor tiles.

Whilst I was there I picked up some 6mm aqua panel for the floor.

So my concerns is as follows, I lay a thin bed of adhesive down. then screw aqua panel down over the top. then tile....

So what happens to all this next time the floor needs tiling? say in 10 years time. won't there be adhesive stuck all over my chipboard floor that will be impossible to get up?

Or am I being thick

Depends what you want, a goid solid floor whats going to last your ten years or so , or one that may not last ten years , but be easier to rip up so you don't excert you muscles

I'm not big on the muscle front....

I'm doing it myself this time, but next time I guess in 15 years or so I will be paying someone to do it due to my interior wall issues.....

Thanks!

Don't make things to come apart make them to stay together

You've moved and it's someone else's problem.

Flawed logic at it best why not just spot fix it all with bucket ready and it will take hardly any effort to rip it out next time round lol x

Thanks everyone, I will do what outcasts on the tin. if there is a tin...

I can't leave it for the next person as it's likely we won't be moving again now. I'm 37 so I doubt this bathroom will see me until I die...

Although a fairly good chance I will be paying someone next time around

When you've done your bathroom the upscale in your property will be so much you won't be able to afford not to move

Unfortunately that only applies if it's been done to a high standard. You see far too many DIY jobs that devalue a property.
