Firstly an introduction. I have recently purchased a Victorian terrace, where at some time in it's life, the outhouse was turned into a tiny kitchen. I'm interested in DIY, however won't attempt to do large jobs myself, I just like to know and understand what and why my contractors decide to use certain products
I've got my head around exactly how the floor needs to be prepared; WPB will be glued and screwed appropriately, and joists secured and leveled if necessary, my question is regarding the roof.
Can I use WPB instead of Marine ply?
Do I once again need to use 18mm thickness, as I will with the floor, or can I go down a scale, maybe to a 9mm or even 6mm?
Maybe they can use OSB instead, and if so, at what thickness?
This is a great website and forum, I look forward to receiving advice from fellow members.
