Hanson sp101 ply

[James94]

Hi it’s been a while since my last post, so a happy new year to you all and I hope your all well.

I’m going to put some flooring down in my dads bathroom ,first of all was going to use some form of click lvt nd seem to of swung towards glue down lvt some form of tile shape. So my first question is does anyone know or have bought recently some Hanson sp101, only seen some online and seems quite expensive .

Hi. For LVT you usually have an 18mm or 22mm P5 deck board, and then glue and screw down some ply over this to act as a binder, but also as particle board doesn't like feathering compound as much as plywood does.

 

The screwheads all need filler-ing and sanding back, so the plywood surface is relatively flawless. Then goes down the LVT.

 

I've never seen any particular plywood needed for this, it's just a floor. If you want to seal it, then tank the plywood layer and drop a few mm of feathering compound over that.

Hi thanks for your help.

I went to a local shop and she told me I’d have to use sp101 ply, but if you say just normal ply will do I’ll get a good quality ply from local builders merchants, makes it simple.

The flooring at the moment is just 22mm chipboard. I have got to make up about 17mm which will be level with shower tray, it can be a little lower.

im thinking 12mm ply and 3mm tile glue so shouldn’t to to far off.

can you recommend a screw type that would be best as I don’t have a nailer?

also you say about the feathering, does it matter if I put it everywhere and sand it or just the joints and screw? Then sand.

Regards. James
