green chipboard

[mark proctor]

mornning lads,,i am putting this thread on but i dont no the name of the wood ..anyway i bought a a loft of my m8 this a few months ago for my widowhood cocks tiled roof but he as made the floor out of that green wood ..i think it comes in 8ft lenths and is only say about 2ft wide...it clips together and i think its made out of chipboard...im not shore...they may use it in house aticks...not shore but i think you no what i mean....what i wont to ask is cos i carnt get hold of my m8 to ask im is the droppings on it seem to soak in more than they do in the other loft which is a ply floor...when i scrape them up it seems to not dry and goes a blacky colour..ive tried putting loft white on it but it soon comes back....i was thinking of buying some ply today to put over it but carnt realy afford to...the pigeons are dear enough to look after with out buying this and that....ive been reading the wet dropping thread and just wondering if there wet them selves or is it the wood...does anyone else use this green clip wood on there loft floors and if they do can they post me a photo of it after they have scraped out..i would be very great full...cheers lads.....mark..

Mark,

          The stuff you are on about is water resistant bathroom stuff, I have it on the floors of all my lofts but it is not neccesarily green anymore, the last lot I got just looked like normal chipboard and the stuff before had a brown tint to it, most wood suppliers stock it.

cheers m8..but does the birds droppings soak in more than they do ply wood?

[Beanz]

Seem to Mark, the stuff as I said is water resistant not waterproof though. Droppings seem to dry up.

mark if the floor is solid what you need to do is put down ply on top of it 1/4 inch will do and counter sink the screws

Put a 3-4inch layer of Easibed down. Problem solved.

I think they use it in the building trade instead of T & G  wood,very dense hence it's very heavy.
