Thought you can’t get it anymore?22 mm no more ply, hands down.
That’s Hardifloor Ian.Thought you can’t get it anymore?
There you go I learnt something new today, always try and learn something new everyday.
Maybe I don’t know enough about it
I’ll consider it for my next project but I doubt I’ll get further than the consideration. If it means I’ve got to travel somewhere quite far away to pick up 4 x £50 boards and 3 x £6 tubes of adhesive, I doubt I’ll do it.
If it’s in a local merchants and I weigh things up and it seems a viable option then I’ll go for it.
There must be a reason why it hasn’t taken off and I think I’ve just done my best to explain it.
This is no different a scenario than Schluter in my opinion, everyone knows is typically a good product, but availability and cost can make it prohibitive.
In fairness I have to assess situations slightly differently these days, and I’m judging it on my own experiences, which isn’t particularly fair I suppose, so I’ll just leave now, and keep my nose out.
Haha search GIFA board. Capital letters.Haha just a heads up don’t just type gifa in google then search, make sure you type in gifa board especially when the wife is sitting next to you haha no please don’t throw any more ornaments at me haha
Something inappropriate came up about grannies haha my head is still soreHaha search GIFA board. Capital letters.
Well if you must use ply, at least use one layer of 12mm straight to joist.
Then cover that in wood glue, cross ply with another layer of 12mm then only screw that in to the first layer at 200 centres, do not go in to the joists.
That is more robust than using 25mm ply, it’s as solid as it comes.
I ALWAYS use an antifracture Mat.But you’re left with a ply wood to tile on to which means to meet the grade the ply wood you’re suggesting would have to be SP101 or FG1 or at least the top layer would need to be.
