aquapanel onto floorboards

[GazTech]

I suggest using 6mm Hardiebacker boards. They are water resistant. Simply fix onto a thin bed of ashesive to fill any voids through uneven floorboards and screw every 200 centres.

No need to prime either!

Andy, can you confirm which type of adhesive is suitable to bed the boards, and which to fix tiles with when using 6mm boards fixed down in this method ....Gaz

Thanks for that.
Can i just check , should I put down some 6mm ply first then the hardibacker or could I put the hardibacker straight down onto the existing floorboards (with screws & adhesive).
Would prefer not to use ply as that add to the height of the floor.

Cheers

Paul

Hi paul...


Make sure the floorboards are well fixed and secure then use a flexi adhesive to put a base for the hardie board then fix with screws......

Will my tile crack if I just use ply. I thought Aquaboard would make it more solid

I have tiled onto ply previously and all the tiles have cracked
