Bathroom Tiling

[securespark]

Yup, I'll second that.

I'm about to fit a new bath soon.

As the new bath is longer, wider and deeper plus double ended (and I'm 18+ stone!!), I'm going to fit a sheet of 18mm ply to spread the load across the floor rather than the current situation where the load is on the feet which are on one board.

Also, I'm going to fit stout timbers vertically to support all four corners and again under the encapsulated board underneath to give further support to the structure.

Not related to support, but to help keep bath water hotter longer, I'm going to stuff the voids with rockwool.

It's always a good idea to place a length of 2" or 3" inch thick timber under the back feet, and the same under the front feet.

This not only spreads the weight, but because the feet rest on the timber, not the floor, the legs are a lot shorter and more stable.

I like this idea and might do it once the plumber has gone.
