    ply needs to be a minimum of 15mm wbp wwhich isnt readily available so next size up is 18mm, its a shame you replaced the floorboards as you could have plyed onto the joists, you really dont want any deflection at all in the floor

    theres not much to be gained from laying backerboard under your ufh you would be better using marmox board as it has good insulation properties.

    use self levelling compound over your ufh and then tile

    Thanks for your advice, sorry about my late reply :/.

    I was thinking of putting 12mm hardibacker ontop of the floorboards, with the warmup system ontop instead of ply, but I guess ply is what im going to go for. Insulation boards unfortunately will add too much to the floor height :S.

    Ply should be able to withstand the ufh shouldnt it? Is there anything worth adding on top such as a primer? Any recommendations?

    Cheers

    Hi Ash,
    A couple of things. Im going to use hardibacker 500 in my ensuite. I will be fixing to 3 different surfaces, Block, Brick and 4x2 Stud. What will i need exactly in the way of fixings etc for these surfaces? Also I have been advised just to use the green coated moisure resistant plasterboard for the ceilings do you agree and if so i take it you can skim plaster this? If I decide to tile the floor should I use hardibacker 250 over t & g floorplanks? I take it you cannot skim hardibacker if you wished? And finally where can I buy it around the Bury, Lancs area including the fixings you will suggest. Alot of people who stock it dont seem to carry the fixings and tell you to just use adheshive and plugs and srews?
    Hope you can help, Cheers, Keith

    hey ash
    Do you reckon hardibacker is as good as ply for overboarding,as i have an old victorian lounge to do in travertine 600 x 450 and was going to ply it after checking floor strength of course, and how thick are the panels regarding ridgidity

    If the floor is solid and free of deflection then backerboards are the way to go. If the floor is "bouncy" then strengthen it before laying backer boards.

    This is an interesting reply because I asked the very same question, (around the beginning of the year - 2010), via an email to Hardie and received a reply saying that tanking would be beneficial in order to waterproof the area where it was being used.

    I would like to understand how it affects the bond between the board and the adhesive because I now have Homelux matting installed over Hardiebacker in my shower area on the advice of Hardie. This also has heavy travertine tiles installed. Should I now be worried? And why is differing advice being given out?

    I have to start laying 40 meters of the stuff tomorrow. I am so not looking forward to it, boards need cutting all kinds of shapes P.S. When testing the Hardi knife did you use David Haye? Superb product but a bit of a pain to cut. Think tomorrow will try Daves suggestion of using a grinder, spent a fortune on jigsaw blades, only last 2 minutes.
