My wife wants to use bambo for the flooring in the first floor bathroom. I have read that it should be fitted on top of 18mm plywood. What I'm wondering is can I lay it straight on the joists. It's tonge and groove on 4 sides and in 180 x 15cm ish lengths and is 15mm thick. My joists are at about 40cm centres I think. The advantage of not using a plywood subfoor are 1) cost (minimal) 2) floor height (will remain the same as adjoining hall and 3) Skirting (can be left in situ). Any advice appreciated. Cheers Paul
