Sistering Joist Issue
Hi all,
I am currently remodleing my batroom an planning on laying ceramic tile.
I have 2x6 redwood joist, 16 inch on center spacing and 10ft between beams.
with what looks like 1/2 oak subfloor, using 1/2 ply OSB and 1/4 hardibacker.
I know this does not meet the proper delflection for tile, so I sitered up the joist.
Clearly I did not do enough research as I sister up the joist with 2x4s with 12inch spacing.
I now know I should have been using 2x6, but do you think the 2x4 at 12inch spacing will be enough to meet the 360 deflection I need.
Has anyone else done this?? what are the results, or do i need to get under the crawl space again?
Thanks
Alan
