    Once and for all (hopefully!) CEMENT Boards Explained

    It feels like there is a constant asking about the suitability of cement board in wet areas. "Will they be ok in my wet room?" "Should I tank them?" etc etc etc Can I attempt to clear up the confusion - much of which comes from the manufacturers and the builder's merchants who sell the stuff...

    Hardie question

    With hardie board can you lay ditra or tiles while the adhesive used for the hardie is still wet? I assume the screws will hold the hardie in place and am sure I've seen somewhere on a previous thread that this is the case? Thanks

    Hardie question.

    Quick question guys re 6mm hardie board going over 18 mm ply. I've been to 3 different topps tiles to get the 25mm hardie screws but they only have the 32mm which are too long. (Pipes etc). Can you use 20 or 25 mm turbo gold screws. I'm sure I saw something on here where some tilers do. Thanks
