    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...

    Marmox V Hardiebacker or Brick Wall

    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...

    6 or 12mm Hardiebacker

    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

    Tanking onto Hardiebacker or Tilebacker

    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...

    Insulation boards or Hardiebacker

    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...

    Hardiebacker - can I bed on mortar over floorboards?

    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...

    Hardiebacker question?...

    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...
