Is 18mm marine ply ok to screw down on a bathroom floor to the joist prior to tiling the floor? Noggings at 400mm and under all joins too.
I have 22mm floorboards running up to it so I figure that once electric UFH, adhesive and tiles are added it’ll be about the same level as my landing carpet.
What do you think? |

Marine ply in a bathroom is a sensible precaution as it's more moisture resistant. Depending on what jointing you use there is always the possibility a little moisture might get through. The last time I had a fitter lay tiles on a 18mm chipboard floor he lined it with 9mm marine ply. |

a quandary, could you change my mind? |

Don't forget to seal both sides of the ply and all cut edges. |

As it’s directly onto the joists it won’t have anything underneath. |

staple chicken wire to the ply so the tiles have something to grip too and flexibilty so they dont crack |

Should be fine, put a perimeter noggin in and another row of noggins on the joints. It's worthwhile putting some polyurethane glue ( bit like expanding foam but a glue) on top of the joists and then lay the ply on top, helps to prevent squeaks and makes it a lot stronger, standard practice these days. Mark position of pipes on ply to prevent screwing through them, better safe than sorry. |

I think that would be fine, a single 18mm ply. It's way stronger than chipboard. |

Gorilla glue? Pop this onto the tops of the joists before laying the ply down and fixing. PM if it’s easier to explain. Thanks. |

Screw down every 1200 with glue on joists. Then you heat mat then chicken wire then flexible adhesive for tiles. Grout then let it set for a few days then if you can turn heat on low and raise it a couple of degrees every few hours.
I'm a builder. If its ply onto floor boards then glue and every 600 for screws. Make sure floor boards are sound first |

Yes put it on top of joists and then put ply on and screw it down. Screwfix do a polyurethane glue ( code- 44485) it foams up and fills any gaps, much better than PVA. |

Also when using the tile adhesive if it's Larsen made then when mixing please please use a good dust mask. Hubby used it 5 weeks ago and machine mixed it outside he is still coughing his lungs up because it contains lime and has burnt his lungs and didn't have his mask on |

I think this stuff that you are recommending is the same/similar to gorilla glue right? My joiner has some of that if that’s any good?
Can you PM my please so I can ask you some stuff please? |

Totally OTT I think using Marine ply, unless you are getting it at a decent price, if your supplier knows what you are using for, they will probably pick out there best boards and put a marine ply stamp on it. I have worked in a wood yard and seen someone do it. I used to collect and deliver plywood years ago. |
