Anyone use ProWarm BACKER-PRO Tile Backer Board

[McLovin]

Hi All

For my own sanity need to clarify that ProWarm BACKER-PRO Tile Backer Board 10mm is as suitable as hardibacker board.

After using hardie over wooden floors for the last few years I have run out of patience for it now. Its a great product but I find it messy, costly and time consuming.

Tiling a 25m2 first floor in a few weeks with a sound wooden floor. No bounce from what I can feel and standard floorboard gaps.

I have not used Wedi or marmox boards before but I am a big fan of the underfloor pro warm hating boards when installing UFH.

The floor is sound enough that I would be happy to use durabase on top however there is a 10mm concert raise where there is a man hole cover so dura is not an option.

So to cut a long story short are the Prowarm backer boards just as good? I called to confirm with them and they have said yes but would like some clarification from seasoned pros

Never used the Prowarm boards but are you intending to cover/tile over the manhole?

 

[McLovin]

The pro boards don't seem any different from the other boards but it would be settling to get someone to clarify.

The manhole will be tiled over leaving access for it to be removed when need be. Would be rather school boy / rouge trader to cover it

I used them a few times recently and found them to be no different from marmox, dukka and such.

Fantastic. I could not see why they would be any different but it's peace of mind to know someone has used them before.

Thanks for the reply.

I just got some from CTD that were the same sort of thing (Jakon) for £5.99 each for 6mm.

Cheers Pal. I have signed up for a trade account with them. Boards have been order. They sound like every other board.

Do people use the 6mm onto floor boards? Think I've used 10mm onto wood floors but not 6

I use 6mm fairly often to keep height build-up down
