Hardie Backer Board Adhesive

[cgadmin23]

Hi

I am using Mapei Keraquick flexible adhesive to apply tiles in my bathroom.

Prior to this I am going to fix hardie backer board to a solid wall. Can I use the same adhesive to bond the backer board to the brick (together with permanent fixings)?

Thanks

Chris

hi,yes Chris that adhesive is fine to use for the cement boards m8.

No probs there, keraquick on the walls?? you must need it done quick,lol.
I use keraflex on the walls mostly,keeps fresh in tub for hours,less mixing and more time to cut etc.

you want to use a rapid setting anyway...just mix enough to do a board at a time...

Ah - useful! Would that combination of hardibacker board and keraquick be suitable for outdoor fixings? For a mosaic fixed onto a brick garden wall?

 

[brian c]

never heard of it being used outside(backer board)would check spec first.

Another question...would backerboard be ok for steps also?i know it would be expensive but its an alternative to sand/cement and waiting for it to dry.

can't see it being a problem brian,but intead of using normal cement why don't you use rapid set

Just had a thought...( dont laff).....Maybe hardi might not like the freeze thaw factor..mmmmm worth thinking about mrs G...

 

[brian c]

i only had normal cement this morning m8,but i get your drift .Normally i would use rapid setting cement.

Dave that was my thought....honest but i thought i would be laughed at.:lol:

SEE!! You do listen....:lol:.....hardi is water resistant Yes..?...but if it's wet and it freezes then what.....

I think an email is needed to hardi....:smilewinkgrin:

 

[brian c]

I THINK IT MIGHT CRACK.Iknow hardi samples are a piece of board in a plastic encase filled with water..to prove its water proof.

Hmm yes, thanks guys, and I know the feeling Brian:lol: I understood wediboard would be ok, but would be nice to have a less pricey option...
