Small bathroom floor preparation

[John]

Having now decided on a Cushionfloor type of covering for a bathroom (approx

2m x 2m) I would like to check out some thoughts:

1. I need to cover the T & G with plywood to give a good surface. Using ply, will it have a tendency to de-laminate around the screw countersinks?

2 What spec of ply should I use?

1. Must I screw it - wouldn't pins and adhesive work just as well - after all it isn't going to have to resist much more than a possible tendency to lift slightly and "slap" the floor underneath.

1. I understand cushionfloor can be stuck down - is there a 'low-tack' adhesive that is just suffienent to stop it lifting and bubbling?

2. Any ideas for dealing with the edges at the skirting? I don't want to remove the skirting.

1. I hope to slide it under the pedestal and the WC as I had them installed on spacers.

If you use something like Screwfix Turbo Gold screws, 12mm ply will splinter a little as the screw countersinks itself, but nothing a quick rub down with sandpaper won't sort.

WBP.

Screws definately. Once screwed down it stays down.

Cut carefully & apply a bead of silicone to stop water getting underneath.

Best idea, real bugger cutting it around
