    Use plywood behind tile backer board?

    So I'm about to box in some pipes and tile over them - I understand that tiling directly onto ply is bad obvs - just wondered if it's advisable to box in with ply and then overboard with tile backer board or do most tilers just go with board directly?

    Underlayment Question - Backer board ok on top of felt/metal lath?

    Initially planned on a mortar bed for my underlayment. Quickly realized I should've gone with backer board instead. I already installed roofing felt and metal lath. Is it ok to install the cement board on top or should I rip out the paper/lath? Thanks in advance. -Frank

    Tile backer board first time

    Hi all, I'm tiling my bathroom that has plywood boards on the floor. Apparently you are supposed to put backer board first, I got HARDIEBACKER 6mm.

    Does size matter (that much) when it comes to backer board?

    I've had to take up half of my floor tiles including the 9mm ply that was underneath. I'm wanting to replace it but am thinking about using a cement board/no more ply option instead. Would a 10mm option work if I used slightly less adhesive? Any help is appreciated.
