    Laying down 10mm Marmox boards on floor

    hello all, I'm about to lay 10mm marmox insulation boards onto 12mm ply. Do I just stick them down using flexible tile adhesive, or is it also wise to screw them down at 300 centres. If screwing, will the plastic backboard washers be fine with the UFH? regards

    Sticking down cement based boards

    Has anyone had experience of using Hardibacker type boards over a screed. The ones in this case are a variant thereof. There is no possibility in this instance of mechanically fixing the boards (i.e. screwing them down) as they are to be used as a finished floor. I am thinking that a simple...
