I'm ripping out my bathroom in a couple of weeks and the entire floor needs to come up (i'm lucky i've not gone through it by now).
I've been advised a couple of things:-
1 - Green coloured chip (or whatever its called)
2 - WBP ply 18mm
i'm going to be tiling over it all anyway but will the weight of the tiles be ok on this boarding or am i better sticking with good old fashioned T and G floorboards??
Oh - i'm moving the boxed in pipes to under the floor (via under the bath for some ltd access) - i'll have stops on everything (bath/sink/toilet etc to isolate)
do you think this is a good idea - or should i them boxed in against the wall just incase something goes wrong - it inevitably will LOL.
(HAVENT POSTED ON HERE IN A WHILE BUT THANX TO ALL WHO GAVE A SHOUT BOUT THE FIRES AND BOILER - ITS ALL SORTED NOW - APPRECIATED)
EDIT ----------
thought i'd save on multiple posts.
Poor cold water supply to my bathroom (bath only) - header in loft - hot tank in airing cupboard (on level with shower) and boiler in kitchen downstairs.
currently i have a lovely stylish (lol) mixer/tap shower thing - as old as the house. I fancy having a mixer just with a twisty dial flush in the wall and a shower head stickin out of the wall - I'm sure i need a pump and parts etc but cost is the beast of burden on this one.
Is it worth putting in a pump/power shower or just go for the old box style elec one (if the latter will i still need a pump cos of poor pressure??)
its purely so i can have a decent shower - extreme performace isnt the biggest issue although asthetics are kinda playing a part.
sorry in advance for the multiple questions in one post.
