Following on from the thread I posted yesterday about these foam boards, it got me thinking about the installation of these boards.
I was quite surprised to find out that some companies recommend purely screwing these boards down when overboarding a suspended timber floor. No adhesive.

Some of you might remember the tile backer board experiment I started a few weeks ago.
It consisted of a thin piece of board inserted into a bottle of water to see if the cement broke down or changed shape in any way or if the bond between foam/cement came away.

Hi guys, I'm in need of around 50m of board to line some of the interior of an endless pool project. Have got a price out of Nicobond, (their version of Lux Elements 12mm), but was wondering if I could get a better price elsewhere. Open to options in material and merchant.

Hi, (first post so be kind!), I am a competent DIY'er and have done numerous kitchen and bathrooms refurbishments in my time, but the boss now wants a wet room!! typical! I wonder if I could pick your brains and experience on recommendations of tile backer board systems. There appears to be...
In a new wet room there will be many butt joints in the tile backer board/ insulation board on the walls & the floor. I plan to use expensive self adhesive waterproof tape around the shower former. However to use this tape everywhere would be very expensive so could I use self adhesive scrim...
Hi,
Just wondering the correct procedure for fixing 12mm cement backer boards onto Thermalite blocks (assuming this is acceptable) . I'm thinking glue and screw using cement based adhesive?

Hi All
For my own sanity need to clarify that ProWarm BACKER-PRO Tile Backer Board 10mm is as suitable as hardibacker board.
After using hardie over wooden floors for the last few years I have run out of patience for it now. Its a great product but I find it messy, costly and time consuming...
Hello all,
I'd really appreciate some expert advice about what type of backer boards I should use for my bathroom floors.
The original floor is 20mm ply glued & screwed to metal web joists. On top of that we've fixed 25 x 50mm battens (at 400mm centres) & in-between the battens we've got UFH...
