It's the way we all did it. Plywood was used for over-boarding floorboards before laying or fixing ceramic tiles. However, this caused problems because if the grouting cracked or the sealant failed, water would creep in and rot the plywood. Also, there was a problem with fungal growth - this often reacted with the adhesive causing the tiles to become loose.
The pros amongst us thought the problem could be overcome by using marine grade plywood, but preservatives in this material migrated through the grout and gave it an orange stain. A minimum of 15mm plywood has to be used with overboarding floorboards - creating, of course, a dangerous step into the tiled room. Now there is a solution to eliminate all these problems. A unique, easy to lay, water resistant tile backer board that's just as effective on the wall as it is on the floor. That's No More Ply.
No More Ply is a premium waterproof tiling board which is especially useful for overboarding timber or chipboard floorboards prior to tiling. No More Ply provides an exceptionally stable base for all tiling projects. No More Ply is an ideal replacement for plasterboards or plaster on walls that are to be tiled and it is especially useful in wet areas such as shower units, bathrooms and wetrooms.
