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

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

Pretty sure they will be porcelain, or ceramic, not natural stone for sure.The chipboard is shot anyways so got to come out .

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
