    Does hardibacker need adhesive on caberdek?

    Hi folks Tiling a bathroom in a new build. Floor is caberdek, solid and flat. Could I just screw the hardi boards down? There's zero movement, or should I still use the adhesive bed? This caberdek looks a bit waxy or has a coating. Cheers

    Hardibacker Tanking Question

    the bath has a 18mm ply covered in 6mm hardibacker behind the taps, concrete rendered wall/window by one of its long sides and a shower screen along the other. as the shower will be spraying away from the hardibacker wall, is there any point in tanking?
