Has anyone just screw fixed the 6mm board rather than bedding in adhesive and screwing??

I've got a couple of bathroom floors to do in a brand new build house and the base is brand new, flat as a pancake wayrock with piped UFH underneath - do you think the adhesive is totally necessary?

Hi There,

Don't worry about adhesive as long as you use the right fixings and plenty of them. Watch out for your ufh pipes though!!

It just seems daft to put adhesive down to take out any floor deviances that aren't actually there!!

the adh is like a safe gaurd depends on floor but it does strengthen area

Hi Merle,

I have a friend in the tile trade who does a lot of inspections for tile failures. He told me once that much of the time where there is a failure with cement backer board, he finds that no thinset was installed under the board. His opinion is that it is worth the time to put the mortar under the board as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Its a small cost to use adhesive too.

I use Hardi all the time and ALWAYS use a bed of adhesive to bed the boards in....The adhesive is designed to fill any voids and these can be created just by screwing the boards down without adehsive...so follow what hardi recommend and do it right.

Adhesive it is then - thing is I was a through and through WBP ply man for 20 odd years until about 5 weeks ago, so am still getting to know this Hardie stuff, but am a stalwart for doing things right, much to the annoyance of my co-workers at times

I too was a WBP man..till i tried Hardi.......Never will i use ply again.

Time moves on and we should start pushing these products more as they are much better IMO.

I agree

Would you still use adhesive if you were using 12mm Hardie on a small, flat timber floor, or just the screws?

[jay]

wouldnt hurt to use adh
