I am installing Hardie backer board for my shower cubicle.

I am putting them onto two stud walls. I have already installed it on one wall. This wall runs at a length of about 1.1ish metres wide so I have cut them down and installed them one on top of the other.

The other wall is around 1.6 metres wide (with the cubicle occupying 800cm). As the board lengths are 1.2 metres I will need to put another cut down board aside it.

My question is that the instructions say that the boards should be installed using a brick pattern. So the next row would not have vertical joins meeting vertical joins. I understand the logic behind it but this would mean I would introduce a join into the shower area. Would it not be better to install them one on top of the other so that there are no joins in the shower area? Would it be ok to install them like this?

Thanks,

Daz

I dont understand the question

if the walls 1600 and the boards are 1200 you will have 400 to make up so you will have a vertical joint

The shower area will only occupy 800, so nope, I won't have a vertical join in the area if I put the boards on top of each other with the vertical joins (where the extra 400 boards are) outside the shower area.

Is this ok to do so?

Thanks,

Daz
