    Using chipboard for bathroom fixings?

    Thanks mate, it's only for mounting smaller fixtures, I'll find a stud for heavier items. Yes it will be over boarded with tile backer board and then tanked as well. Just wanted to make sure the chipboard would hold a fixing ok. I've tried a couple of test pieces and it seems decent enough

    21mm engineered floor, glue vs float?

    Hi Gents, We've just bought 75msq worth of engineered flooring for the whole of the downstairs in our new place. We're still tossing up whether to glue the flooring direct to the screed or float the flooring over some decent underlay? I like the idea of glueing just because it sounds more...
