New Suspended floor in bathroom
I`m going to build a suspended floor in a small downstairs bathroom so that
all the drainage & pipes can go underneath. The room is approx 1.89m by 2.46m and I plan to batten out the wall and then hang joists inbetween using joist hangers at 400mm intervals using the shortest span (1.89m). What size joist should I go for?, one book I read says I can use 100x50mm (4x2) but I`m not sure. On top of this will be plywood screwed down and then tiles. There will be no bath in the room, just a bog, shower and basin. If necessary I can supplement the span with a sleeper wall (I think they call it) to provide rigidity to the floor (don`t want it flexing with tiles on top!). John |
