tiling onto chipboard a no no i guess

Post by sparkydude »

After reading the above topic, if i remove my chipboard flooring, would i be able to replace it with 18mm WBP insteaqd of 25mm? just wondered as the cost between the two is astronomical, and just hope that 18mm will be ok.

Cheers

If it isnt broke dont bloody touch it until it bloody well is and if it is broke then make drawing of the connections before you remove the broken one and replace with a new one LoL

What tiles are you fitting, man made or natural stone?

If joists are at 400m centres 18mm should be ok screwed every 200mm
and fit noggings between joists where ply edge's join so as to eliminate
any movement
There would be less trouble in the world
if l had not had six daughters
