epsilonGreedy Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 With 42 hours to go to floor fitting I am having doubts about some details. I am aware that bathrooms need a special water resistant chipboard and so far in my planning I have assumed a 60 day exposure rated floor board, already ordered for the rest of the floor, meets this bathroom requirement. Is that so or should I also buy some of that green bathroom chipboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 My top floor ( with two bathrooms) have same board all over, after seeing it perform in winter weather I have no qualms about it dealing with a damp situation ? architect did not specify different board and builder did not question it.

Mr Punter Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 The Egger Protect you are using is fine for bathrooms - better than green chipboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz07 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Forgot to say I'm your other thread but hopefully your chippie should know. I leave all the cutouts round stairwell 100mm or so oversize. Cut back at first fix. If sweeping water over these edges and putting ladders up etc it's nice to cut back to a fresh edge when all watertight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
