    Default floating floor

    Am presently due to tile onto what they call a 'floating floor'. Local supplier says these may be subject to a bit more movement. As a cheaper alternatve to Bal, recommends Granfix Ultimate. However he also has another called, i think, Benfer Leaderflex, which he says is highly flex & which is on spec offer. Anyone heard of ? or used ? Is he correct in saying one part flex might not be good enough & is there a way of tightening a floating floor

    Benfer is good stuff but not that good or any other material come to that, I don't touch floating floors

    Overboard with 18mm ply and then use a 2 part adhesive. DO NOT GO STRAIGHT ON TOP WITHOUT OVERBOARDING.
