backerboard

Does anyone know where on earth you can buy marmox boards in Northern Ireland? I hear they are a bit cheaper than Wedi board (but they don't seem too abundant here either!)

Let us know where you're getting the best Wedi prices from at the moment.

Looked at a job & the customer wants a curved bath panel tiled in mosaics. I looked at the curved wedi boards & was going to get a joiner in to fix a frame then fix the wedi to this. What centres should i tell him to put the frame in at or has anyone else got a good solution for this? Thanks...

Hi, have remove my floorboards and replaced with 18mm WBP ply and now need to lay down some 6mm marmox boards in preperation for under floor heating in bathroom. The general opinion seems to be to screw to ply wood using marmox washers and also lay on a bed of adhesive. Silly question but should...

Hi All On my bathroom wall that has the door on it would it be ok to secure the marmox boards with screws only, at 300mm centres and not apply adhesive as I want to minimise the depth added to this wall so as to not come proud of the door architrave? The walls have been replastered in bonding...

Please help me with which is the best product to use. I hear that Maxxus does not need underboarding but Marmox does and it is considerably cheaper. I have a 1500 wide space by 800 (to the shower screen). Should I get the full deck 1500mm or the smaller 1300 and tank the remaining area. The...

Hi there, I posted a while ago prior to carrying out prep work for tiling a new bathroom with Travertine. I followed the recommendation and adhered backerboard over the plastered walls using weber SPF rapid and mechanical fixings but would like some further advice on the floor. At present the...

Hello all, Following on from my last thread I wondered how you would suggest fixing 6mm Marmox board to 18mm chipboard flooring. I haven't been able to do anything about it since my last post as i've been away so just to re-cap... I'm tiling a small bathroom floor (2.2 m2, pic attached) with...

Hi I just took delivery of a new Marmox showerlay and horizontal waste. The waste was meant to fit either 40 or 50mm solvent weld waste pipe connection. However, on checking the correct fitness, neither 50mm connectors nor pipe seems to fit (there is too much play between the waste outlet and...

Hi I am planning to install a wetroom using Marmox showerlay, 20mm Marmox boards for the rest of the room and have a recessed shower screen (10mm, 1200 x 2000mm) with channel embedded between tiles. My concern is whether the 20mm Marmox board is able to support the 60kg weight spread over this...

I've been doing a bit of research prior to tiling my bathroom. 3 walls are lined with marmox boards and the fourth, which is an internal wall and well away from any wet areas, is plastered. From research on here I realise I will have to prime the plastered wall with Mapei primer G, but will the...

Hi, I normally use wedi trays but have been looking at the Marmox trays and boards. What is the standard of these items as they are quite a bit cheaper and the trays a lot thinner ? Is it the you get what you pay for line, or are they a good alternative ? Would be nice to hear any opinions...

Hi again. Does anyone know where I can get Marmox boards 40/50 mm from. I would prefer to pick up in cornwall but delivery would be good. Also will I be able to remove a floating floor and foam, then lay these onto the floor thats left and tile straight onto these. Thanks for any info.

Im due to start a job in a couple of days and im fixing 6mm Marmox boards on top of 15mm WBP Plywood which will be screwed down on top of 22mm Weyroc. The Question is... do i need to lay with flexible adhesive or can i just screw them down with marmox washers? One person said i only need to...

I have just had my bathroom plastered with bonding on the walls to make them more even in preperation fixing Marmox backer boards. I am planning on fitting 10mm on walls, priming the wall first with BAL SBR (mixed in 2:1 Ratio), then fixing the boards on a bed of mapei keraquick, allowing the...
