My 1st Job Hardiebacker confusion

Ahh. I’m not too familiar with the hardie backer ways but no more ply you can dot and dab 6mm. I can’t see why hardie is any different
 
If space is limited for building out, you might as well stick with the hardie backer dot and dabbed as its 6mm thick and not 20mm like impish suggested. You can actually dot and dab with 12mm thick wedi type board tho.

20mm for spotting on walls. If you use thinner, there's zero come-back. Wedi, Delta, Jackon - all say 20mm

As for 6mm cement board on walls... not for me thank you!
 
Ah, marmox is one manufacturer I've never used.
I know their coating is a little tougher than others, maybe it helps?
 
Maybe it does help, maybe there more confident to say 12mm is fine. 12mm is pretty rigid, I can’t imagine it causing any issues. I find the coatings can be quite inconsistent on various board manufacturers boards.
 
I'm going to try and get hold of some Marmox but I've not found a local stockist so far. Short of that will there be a massive difference to using a tanked moisture resistant plasterboard?
