[Raydaffurn]

im looking to install natural stone onto hardie backer board it's in a living room wall.

The tiles are heavy, about 40kg m2 which adhesive do I need?

Not sure if I need quick or slow set, flexible or not etc... if someone can recommend

I think the title is a bit wrong, what stone is it and a fast set would be my choice

Yeah sorry meant to be 40kg, this is the stone:

Split Face Mini Mosaic Tile Ledge Stone Beige - http://www.marble-mosaics.com/split-face-mini-mosaic-tile-ledge-stone-beige-595-p.asp

Any recommendation on a specific brand

Cumulative weight will be high so i think hb is a good choice of substrate. Adhesive-wise, i would use whatever you like and trust. It's not a particularly sensitive stone but always safer to use a rapid set.
Personally I'd use tilemaster semi-rapid.

Hi as the stone is relatively light in colour we'd recommend Keraquick White adhesive. For further info you can visit products - http://www.mapei.com/GB-EN/Products-for-Ceramics-and-Stone-Materials/Cement-based-adhesives/KERAQUICK-S1 or call our Technical Services Team directly on 0121 508 6970 (ext 2) for advice. Hope that helps.

I think it depends how capable the man is with laying tiles , or these interlocking mosaic.
Id use white slow set or as impish says semi rapid (tilemaster would be my choice)

I'd use Keraquick.

Tilemaster standard set white . It's made for the job. Trust me 42 years experience and tile master is the way forward
