which wood for my floor, 25mm Ply, or chip THEN ply

k13wjd · 13-08-2010

Hi guys - 5m2 bathroom floor - will be sat on 35x35 mm batons, onto a concrete floor - they arent that well held down to the concrete, i must admit - ill give them all a good smear of no-nails prior to laying the floor.

Tiles are 600x300mm polished porcelin - not cheap either !!!

should i be using chipboard, then a layer of 18mm ply....OR just lay a single peice of 25mm ply down, and be done with it.

and, and ideas on a good place to buy them ??? not b+q i presume, but a maybe a national timber supplier ?

been through this. Cast concrete pre-fab house - every wire, cable, pipe and duct runs across the concrete floor upstairs - hence the floorboards needing to be in place.

Dude at Travis told me they can now track every piece of timber they supply back to the source... is this due to environmental measures?

yes it is. all timber supplied has to be from a sustainable source

nice one, that will also save £££ and also stop a fairly big issue with height.

thanks once again - my batons are 400mm apart, i presume a screw every 200mm should suffice ???? its onto concrete, its not going to go anywhere.
