What floor boards can be used for bathrooms, no underfloor heating and not a wetroom, for tiles to be laid on top?
If you're looking at floor sheets there's 18mm and 22mm.. check which it is as I didn't!
I went for the water proof (green stuff) simply because a small gap, once the water is in will expand. Thing is I think the stuff looses it's water proof nature over time anyway as the old panels soaked up the splashes when the floor was pulled up.
The 18mm got reused as tool boards in the garage.
Are you planning to replace the floorboards? Can't you just put some plywood over the existing boards and tile on to that? Or is that what you are intending to do?
Oh for tiles to be laid on?
You should ply line even if you have green boards down.
Half the floorboards are old, knackered or missing so yes I'm just going to replace it all.
Yes, for floor tiles.
So, joists > green MR boards (18 or 22) > ply?

Centre to centre the joists are 400mm, 340mm actual gap. So 18mm will be fine then?
Thanks guys.
