    Dpc Under Hardiebacker

    Hi all Please could somebody let me know if a DPC is required with HardieBacker? Taking up the fake wood floors reveals a DPC. Would Hardiebacker under ceramic floor tiles be enough by itself? or do we need a roll of damp course? Thanks

    Hardie Backerboard Installation

    As a tile fitter only - as I don't get involved in room prep prior to tiling, would it be down to me to tape and fill joints between backerboards before tiling or would you expect the installer of the boards to complete this proces or inform me that this proces is required?
