    Cement vs foam core boards

    Hi, I'm about to redo an en-suite after taking it back to the stud. I have been doing a little reading on backer boards (but clearly not enough to be sure what to use!) I have gyp-frame 40 cm studs and an external block wall that needs dot and dab. I guess a lot of people rate Hardie backer...

    How To Tile Over Spray Foam That Has Not Set Hard

    My plumber has just finished the pipework into a drain in a new utility. He said he would put down some board but instead has half-filled a cavity with foam. But the foam has not dried hard it has dried soft. Originally I envisaged using self leveling compound but I can't lay this on soft foam...

    Lightweight Foam Tile backer boards. Long thread titles are a wonderful thing.

    Following on from the thread I posted yesterday about these foam boards, it got me thinking about the installation of these boards. I was quite surprised to find out that some companies recommend purely screwing these boards down when overboarding a suspended timber floor. No adhesive. I...

    Getting tempted to move over to Foam boards for all showers.

    Just picked up some Orbry board and was quite surprised how cheap it was. £21 for 2.6M x 0.6m x 20mm thick. The 12.5mm board is about the same. 20mm Board you only need 600mm stud centres. Does anyone use a foam board on all of their showers? I think I’m going to move over to it a bit more.

    Foam Tile Backer Board Experiment.

    Some of you might remember the tile backer board experiment I started a few weeks ago. It consisted of a thin piece of board inserted into a bottle of water to see if the cement broke down or changed shape in any way or if the bond between foam/cement came away. There was no change at all in...

    Standard suspended timber floor, regarding overboarding- do people consider the foam boards (wedi/Marmox/Jack0/Ducka etc) as good as the boards like Hardiebacker/NMP/Aquapanel etc. I’m asking this in relation to UFH and suspended timber ground floors where the insulating properties of the foam...

    Knee pad inserts

    I've always used the trouser insert type knee pads, but I'm fed up of them being squashed in the corners, does anyone know of any that aren't foam? Maybe a gel or alike?

    Washboy Woes

    got the washboy out today for the first time in a long time to give it another go. Still not having much joy with it. Creates a lot of foaming on the tiles and on the joints! Any ideas ? I'm ringing it out a lot.
