I am putting 6mm Hardiebacker on a ply deck.
Installation intructions from the PDF on "www.jameshardie.co.uk" states that for installation onto a subfloor "Apply a gap filling bed of non-flexible tile adhesive to the subfloorusing a 6mm notched trowel."
I had intended to use an "S1" adhesive...

Hi All
I’ve just had a loft conversion with one of the rooms being a bathroom. The floor is P5 grade (the green tinted moisture resistant stuff) 22mm chipboard and has been layed absolutely flat. The walls are skimmed plasterboard.
I would like both floor and walls tiled but it's the floor...
Hello all,
I'm undecided about Tiling on Brick wall.
The fitter has agreed to remove remaining layer of mortar back to the Brick Wall.
I am in no doubt there will be areas on the Brick Wall that will bear some minor damage.
The issue is, do I get the damaged parts filled in before tiling...

Hi guys,
Got 22mm chipboard down in an upstairs bathroom and pretty solid, bit concerned at the height that 12mm Hardie + 9mm Porcelain tiles will give, would 6mm Hardie be suitable?
Cheers Rob
Hi All,
Firstly this is a DIY question, not a for reward question. I'm re-fitting my bathroom but like to do things right :)
I have already finished the electrics and boarded the head of the bath where the shower and screen will mount with Hardibacker 500 and fixed at 150 mm intervals with...
Hi All, just a quick question?, in say, for example a domestic bath/shower room would you still tank the walls when you have installed Hardiebacker or Gypsum Tilebacker board onto the studwork or do you only tank when installing onto normal plasterboard where replacement isn't an option?
Thanks...

Just gutted my bathroom and replaced all the plasterboards with hardiebacker 500, pulled the floor up and boarded it with 18mm ply and then overboarded that with...

Every time I go to Topps for Hardiebacker the price goes up. Currently Topps price for 250 is £13.49 (trade £12.93). A saving of a massive 56p.
Quick Google comes up with a company called INSULATION EXPRESS. Hardie 250 is £8.76 (inc vat). Plus £20 delivery charge. You only have to buy 5...
I met a tiler who always used insulation boards instead of Hardiebacker.
I’ve got a job coming up next week that involves taking up 6mm ply (nailed & probably glued) to the floorboards. The kitchen units were then put on top!
I’ve quoted for Hardiebacker, but am now thinking that 6mm...
Hi,
Am about to take on my first tiling job and am throwing myself in the deep end with a load of natural stone (marble and granite).
It's kitchen and bathroom on a first floor, so wooden subfloor. I'll screw down the existing boards and plywood of course, but have bought 6mm Hardibacker to...

There have been a few threads recently asking questions about the correct procedure for overboarding wooden substrates with hardiebacker cement board. I did one earlier in the week and took a few photos, so hopefully this will help answer a few questions.
First things first, hardiebacker...
Bit of advice please, first time using Hardiebacker and I want to know if it's ok to use Bal single part flexible to secure it to the chipboard underneath or do I need to use a different adhesive?

Very quick question for you guys. I've got some HB500 to put up onto some breeze block wall. I've read the masonry document from HB but it states the 6mm board:
"...HardieBacker 6mm cement board is simply adhered to the masonry walls using 3 vertical 10mm beads of Grip Fill...
My question is can you use hardiebacker 250 in a wall application, timber stud work at 400 centres, 10mm travertine on top?
The 12mm would bring out the wall too much for the wall mounted taps and fittings so 6mm would be ideal.
I have phoned up the James Hardie tech help and they said there...
Hi,
I'm about to lay my Devi UFH on Hardibacker 250 and then was planning to level/fill with SLC before tiling (Travertine, Keraquick white).
Do I need to use a primer on Hardibacker?
If so should I prime the whole floor before laying the UFH or just the areas that don't have the heating mat...
Hey people hope u can advise me.....I am currently installing a new shower room in my house. Im upto the stage of tiling the floor. The floor is made up of wooden floorboards on wooden joists.
The floor was slightly unlevel so i decided to use everbuild self leveling compound after priming...
We are putting a short term floor down in our kitchen. (don't ask - kitchen needs to move to other side of house but we just had a baby so need a floor now). I don't want a nightmare ripping up the tile in 3-5 yeas so was thinking of not screwing down the hardie backer. Any thoughts are...
