    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?

    Shower Tray Install On Timber Floor

    apologies if this is in the wrong section. When installing a resin/stone type shower tray, directly on a wooden floor, what do people use to keep it in place, adhesive/sealant etc. Might add that it will be sitting on green chipboard, and I can't raise it up due to restricted headroom.
