    It has fibres through it to give strength, it's strong but can snap quite easily.

    I be calling British Gypsum technical to confirm it's use.

    08705 456123 and ask for technical

    Why has the plumber put it down? Did he give a reason?

    no idea why he layed it, told the customer he had used it before and is better than plywood!

    Very strange!
    As it happen's i'm using this tomorrow to seal around a gas stove around the flu,then sealing it with fire stop. As Whitebeam says it's basically a fireboard!
    Think i'd be ripping it up and putting a proper base down. Sounds like the only explanation is something to do with a firestop to the floor underneath. Which theoretically should be double boarded with fireboard (plasterboard)oops out of room.

    There has been mention in the past of someone using plsterboard on the floor instead of ply or a backer board. Perhaps this plumber decide this would be better??
