Discuss Fix backer board to thermalite in the America Tile Forum / Advice Board area at TilersForums.com.

Not sure if this forum is broken I can’t see most posts due to adverts, but I’ll give it a go.

Does anyone have any experience of fitting tile backer board to thermalite blocks? I have no room for battens so was going to dot and dab with mechanical fittings. Are thermalites suitable for spankers? If not what is best way to fix? Thermalites are no stronger than sponge for fixing!
 
Not all tiling board manufacturers recommend dot and dabbing there boards. Check with the manufacturer of the board you intend to use.
Thanks for the advice. Yes it is recommended according to the website. It is q board from bandQ good price for 20mm 2400x600. My question is what mechanical fixing for thermalite as I bloody hate this blocks I can fix anything any sense. bring back dense concrete blocks that’s what I say:) brick it’s and their labourers my have a different view!
