Just wanted to know if boards came like this. I have found that they do.

 

[On one]

Yes,the boards sometimes come warped.
And even though they are classed as 6mm they seem a bit fatter than that.
I only use them on overboarding floors,where accuracy isn't that important.........for me,easier and better products available for use on walls.

I'm using 12mm. What better products for walls?

You get a free diamond with every 10 boards you buy!

Yes, I know that the joints are not meant to meet.

Looks very much like those boards line up on the right of the centre joint. If that’s a straight wall and not a corner, (which it’s not) they’re laid incorrectly. They’re meant to be laid broken bond. And it’s truly not that critical. Just don’t butt joint them. If laid broken bond it won’t matter at all that they differ in size.

Thanks. I went with the "brick pattern" which hardiebacker also states All done now.
