Hi there,
this is my first post and just like to say hi and thank you for this very informative forum but just wanted to ask 2 questions. i will be tiling are upstairs bathroom, its a very small area only 2.5 m2. im going to lay hardibacker 6mm on top of the wooden floorboard however i was just wondering if i would be able to use the following adhesive to sandwich the hardibacker to the floorboards - Mapei Super Flexible White Adhesive 20kg . purchased from B&Q at £30.98, i would post a link but im unable to.
i was already going to purchase Mapei Super Flexible White Adhesive 20kg already to stick the tiles to the hardiebacker 6mm however i will end up with half a bag leftover so i wanted to know if i could use the other half of the bag to stick the hardibacker to the floor boards instead of having to purchase a mortar.
I was also curious about the screws, im aware hardibacker supply their own screws however i find them to be pretty dear and i have a feeling 30mm will be too long, read most places 25mm is sufficent and safer. wanted to know if The Ulti-Mate Woodscrew - 3.5 x 25mm - Pack 200 - purchased from ironmongery Direct (only£2.25 a box) would be sufficient for the job to securely attach the hardibacker to the floor while its wet.
its a zinc plated screw for exterior use i do believe and personally i love it, such an easy screw to use and the head cant get damaged at all, its goes flush easily in wood and i imagine it would do the same in cement board.
Appreciate any advice or opinions, thnx
