The bathroom refit continues…
I’ve cut and laid 25mm marine ply above new joists (grain across the joists) I’ve not screwed down yet but plan to use D4 and screws every 100mm or so onto the joists, then use noggins underneath the ply between the joins and around the edges of the joists to reinforce. There’s a 30cm gap or so down one side but I’ll fill this in with the old 25mm floorboards I have left over – most where shot so ply was bought.
Do the joins on the top face of the ply need filling with something?
Was then thinking tile backer board and porcelain tiles on the floor – there seems a few different options for backer board adhesive – any recommendations?
I also need to get all four walls of the room sorted with dot and dab + Moisture resistant plasterboard, should this be done before or after the backerboard and floor tiles are down?
it’ll be a walk in shower with a low profile tray rather than a wet room so hoping there’s no need for tanking etc.
I’ve not done this before so I’m feeling my way a bit, just don’t want to do anything major in the wrong order!
