No More Ply
For tiling that looks perfect year in, year out, for years to come
(don’t even think about using problematic substrates
like plaster-board, mdf, chipboard, hardboard and, yes, plywood)
No more
loose tiles
No more
stained grout
No more
rotten substrates
It’s the way we all did it.
Plywood was used for over- boarding floorboards before laying or fixing ceramic tiles. However, this caused problems because if the grouting cracked or the sealant failed, water would creep in and rot the plywood. Also, there was a problem with fungal growth – this often reacted with the adhesive causing the tiles to become loose. The pro’s amongst us thought the problem could be overcome by using marine grade plywood, but preservatives in this material migrated through the grout and gave it an orange stain. A minimum of 15mm plywood has to be used for overboarding floorboards – creating, of course, a dangerous step into the tiled room.
Now there is a solution to eliminate all these problems.
A unique, easy to lay, water resistant tile backer board that’s just as effective on the wall as it is on the floor. That’s
NO MORE PLY.

NO MORE PLY is easy to fix. Here’s how…
Overboarding timber floors
a)
Remove all old existing floor coverings. Screw floorboards (timber or chipboard) down firmly and sweep clean.
You are ready for NO MORE PLY.
b)
Run two small beads of Mega Strength Polyurethane Adhesive on the back of NO MORE PLY. Lay in position and screw down using 25mm
NO MORE PLY screws. Screws must be inserted with a cordless screwdriver and eight screws per sheet is usually sufficient. Always stagger joints.
c)
Run a small bead of Mega Strength Polyurethane Adhesive on the edge of the laid boards and lay the next board down fixing again with 25mm NO MORE PLY screws. This method seals and reinforces the joints.
Warning:
Mega Strength Polyurethane Adhesive is an amazingly strong waterproof glue. Always wear gloves and wipe off excess glue with an old cloth. Use solvent in case of spillage.
d)
For straight cuts score with the NO MORE PLY Scoring Knife and snap. For curves and shapes use a jigsaw or nibble round pipes with tile nippers. 9mm boards may need 3/4 scores before snapping.
e)
When the floor is complete, sweep clean and you are ready for tiling. Priming the boards with SBR Multi Purpose Primer (one part SBR to three parts water) will improve adhesion. Alternatively, wipe the surface of NO MORE PLY with a damp sponge just prior to spreading the tile adhesive. If undertile heating is being used, prime with one part SBR to three parts water before laying undertile heating and tiles.
Overboarding CONCRETE floors
a)
NO MORE PLY is ideal for covering dirty, cracked, worn out concrete floors. Always remove loose material, clean thoroughly and prime with one coat of SBR primer (one part SBR to three parts water) before laying No More Ply.
b)
Make sure floor is clean and free from all loose material. NO MORE PLY boards must be primed both sides with one coat of SBR primer (one part SBR to three parts water). For best results lay NO MORE PLY on single part flexible rapid set adhesive ensuring joints are staggered.
c)
For straight cuts score with the NO MORE PLY Scoring Knife and snap. For curves and shapes use a jigsaw or nibble round pipes with tilenippers.
d)
When floor is covered with No More Ply, allow adhesive to set – see adhesive manufacturer’s instructions on setting time. Sweep floor clean and you are ready for tiling.
Overboarding WALLS
NO MORE PLY is also ideal for overboarding walls. ‘Dot and dab’ 6mm NO MORE PLY boards with single part flexi rapid set adhesive or Mega Strength Polyurethane Adhesive - ideal for overboarding new brickwork, plastered or previously tiled walls. In some applications plugging and screwing may be necessary. Priming the boards before tiling will improve adhesion.
