ply

In the planning process of laying a reclaimed hardwood parquet floor in our lounge. Our current floor is pretty solid (tongue groove floorboards) although I plan to sheet over it with 9mm Ply before laying the blocks. I was just about to order some plywood although slightly confused by all...

I am looking for some advice on suitable bathroom subfloors on joists. I have had a look on the forum (and others too), and am struggling to find an answer. Currently the bathroom subfloor is some kind of 18mm tongue and groove chipboard screwed onto the joists (400mm centres). Previously...

Hi, wondering if anyone has had similar or can advise please… Had a fairly large outdoor shelter built this summer and when the cold winter weather hit a few weeks back, we noticed mould had started to grow on the underside of the roof. Pictures uploaded but structure is essentially open on 2...

Hi all. I'm having some new carpet fitted soon on the landing and to my delight the floorboards beneath the old carpet are a bit of a state. I've opted to lay some 6mm ply over them to help smooth everything out. My question is, as I'm not (yet) replacing carpet in the adjoining rooms, should...

I want to time my bathroom floor currently its got vinyl and floor boards. Would i remove existing floorboards replace with 22mm ply and a 6mm aqua backer board waterproof ready for tiling? Is this the correct method? If so any advice on materials? Thank you Liam

Howdy folk. Part way through my floor construction and have myself a question. Currently i've levelled my slab. Installed 120mm of PIR and then "attempted" to lay a ply sheet over the top. Issue? A 2 cm hump in the sheet that makes the sheet feel like a trampoline. I've introduced...

Hi All - Have a timber frame floor in garden room/office which will also be insulated with PIR. For the sub floor are there any preferences between PLY and CHIPBOARD at all? Thanks

Hi guys, hope everyone is well. I'm in the process of planning a shed build to protect the wife small business stock of Apparel. The shed size will be 6x12. The site we propose to use is an area of wooden decking that is approx 4 years old. It currently holds the plastic style Keter shed and...

I'm remodelling the bathroom (smallish 2m x 1.7) as a wetroom. I'm replacing the whole floor: 24mm ply, 6mm tile backer board, electrical underfloor heating, self levelling stuff, 10mm porcelain tiles (300x 600). I may be able to lay the whole ply board (apart from the tray former) as one piece...

Hi all. Sorry for what will be a big post and if this is in the wrong thread please move it to the more appropriate. I asked a builder to sort me a shed that could fit my motocycle in and do basic maintenance work on it, in the shed. He took the mick out of me on several occasions and I ended...

Hi all, Question no doubt asked 100's of times, but wanted to check a few things. I'm renovating bathroom and taking up floor - the old chipboard is very bad in several places. The floor will be finished with Karndean (splashing out as it's not a big space at all) and they insist on SP101 to...

Hi I have an upstairs bedroom and the floorboards are not in great condition (gaps and not very level). So before we put laminate down I am going to cover the floor with sheets of 12mm ply. Question is, If I screw every 150mm on the ply, do I need to leave an expansion gap around the edges...

Can I just check my logic please. I've built a shed that I want to use through the winter as an extra room. I'm about to fix 18mm ply on roof. Am i right that the breather membrane can go directly on the ply itself and it will still be effective please? I plan to put shed felt down which...

Looking for some advise/recommendations on a nailer for fitting sheeting (e.g. 6mm ply) to an uneven floor, typically for lino to be overlaid. Traditionally I'd use annular nails marked out at 100mm centres, but the old knees are taking their toll, so looking for an alternative method

alright everyone! So here the score, I’m building a shed/future man cave! It’ll be 4.6x2.2, at the end of the garden so only the front will be seen. For the front I’m thinking featheredge or board on board. Not really feeling making up the other 3 sides nice and to be fair just want to keep it...

I know this is a kitchen section but wondered if you could help with a bathroom question as I think this will be the best place. I’m replacing the bathroom floor with 25mm ply in preparation for the new bathroom being fitted. I can’t get 25mm marine grade at a reasonable price so I’ll be using...

As the title states, I never thought the day would come but I need help in the planning of a bank of shelving! The effect I want to achieve is essentially what will look like 4 x 70/30 split cupboards all at around 500mm wide. I'm ok with attaching the doors but where I need help is firstly...
