    Recently screeded a big job (5x 25m rolls) with ultrafloor renovate and it’s been absolutely spot on, really nice to use! What’s your guys take on screeding over ply?

    If the floor is pretty unlevel then I tend to 6mm ply & flow it with mapei renovation or 9mm ply with feather joints.

    All depends on the state of the floorboards and if customers budget allows. If I can get away with 6mm and feather joints then I will everytime.

    It should be a last resort and avoided if possible

    Unless the floor is flat chipboard you need to screed ply for super shiny Amtico. Even then the ply can show through
