    Tilebacker fixings sitting proud of board

    Hi, I've used Fischer hammer in fixings to secure Gyproc tilebacker to a masonry wall. The fixings sit proud of the board by approx 3mm (12mm dia). Will this cause any issues when tiling onto the board? The tiles are 1200x600mm and weight 17kg each so need to be sure before installing.

    Schlüter Kerdi Board

    Often I see it being used in the US and Canada. It’s incredibly rare to see anyone use it in the UK or GB I’m wondering why this is? Could it be cost or could it be that the Price isn’t so much of an issue over the pond and a higher price is paid in general for Tiling/Prep work. I’ve used...
