Best Boarding for Bathroom Floor and Where to Purchase from? - TilersForums.com

Thanks so 10mm Hardiebacker screwed into the existing wooden floor boards?

You don't get 10mm Hardie, either Hardie 250 which is 6mm or Hardie 500 which is 12mm.
I would overboard with the 6mm & as above make sure it's glued & screwed.

Norcross are insulation boards...

Thought they were..

Remove rubbish chipboard floor boards and replace with 18mm wbp ply.
Fix blanke permat and you're good.

Where is the best place to buy HardieBacker online for delivery?

Been looking online and company called Builder Depot look like good price but delivery is over £30.

Thanks

£30 for delivery or £30 per board.
Think how much they would cost if you got Independence!

 

[gordybaillie]

Haha £30 delivery, approx £10 a board.

Board price is ok but the remote part of the British Isles is the issue!

I will get some stick maybe for saying this....but if you were to use 9mm exterior grade ply screwed down at 100mm intervals .....I promise this will work ....they do say use a lot thicker ply but it is not needed and makes to much of a step leading into bathroom......good luck.....ps adhesive has to be flexi

Can't believe you said 9mm ply, exterior or what ever to use....BS states 15mm minimum.

Ply just isn't as good as it used to be, apparently, so I'd completely avoid it these days.
