    Hi All, Job count is growing and loving the experience. Latest question is: When glueing and screwing backer board in preparation for tiling, which adhesive do you use. I guess it has to be flexible and I know that its purpose is to fill any potential voids between the board and existing...

    Hardi backer board with Travertine tiles.

    I need to make a bath panel for 270mm x 406mm travertine tiles to sit on and as far as I can gather hardibacker is ideal for the job. My bath measures 1750mm x 750mm but my local stockists only sell sheets of 1200mm x 800mm so it would mean having a joint which i'm not keen on. According to...

    6mm tile backer board - which side should I tile?

    I've got four 6mm tile backer boards which I assumed would have been No More Ply but for some reason the tile shop I ordered from sent another brand. I'm not really bothered about that but what I would like to know is which side I should tile to. The other side will be face down on the floor on...

    Backer board?

    Not sure if it's just a Northern Ireland thing, but I can honestly say that I've never once encountered any form of backer board as often mentioned on this forum in 7 years of tiling, either in shops or on jobs. Any of the other NI tilers ever used it? If so, where's it usually purchased? Sounds...
