    Laying OSB floor over tiles - do I need to glue the OSB?

    Thanks for the reply but struggling to find the meaning in it! "A list of variables you might consider" doesnt seem to have any meaning. Im doing it because Osb gives a nice effect when sanded and varnished with polyurethane. Its a 50 sqm floor so cant afford a real wood floor and having looked...

    Laying OSB floor over tiles - do I need to glue the OSB?

    I have a large tiled floor and the plan is to use OSB panels over the top and then sand and stain the OSB chipboard as a final floor. Do I need to glue the OSB to the tiles or can I leave it floating? Do I need a membrane or anything? Thanks.

    Can I lime render over old tyrolean render

    Hi, I have a large house in france and the front and side wall have in the past been rendered with what looks like tyrolean render. It's a very nasty grey cement colour and totally ruins the appearance of the house. Painting it would be a big task as it has some fungal growth in the render so...
