Tile Backer Board

[TimM]

Hi All,

Having now been convinced of the need to board out my 18msq hall (see "to board or not to board" on a previous thread), I am now wading through trying to decide what to use.

There are quite a few products on the market - currently the most pushed seems to be hardibacker, but whether or not this is because it is the one favoured by Topps and therefore gets more exposure, I am not sure. It comes in around £11 per sheet.

I have also seen No More Ply recommended that can be got on E Bay at around £8 per sheet.

On top of that there is the Wedi tile backer, I get the impression that this is designed more for wet rooms,

Adding in Marmox and numerous other products, I start to get confused.

As background I want to keep the height impact to a minimum as I measure around 6 ft 4 and some of the doors need careful negotiation already, so am looking towards the 6mm depths. That is why I am not considering plying it out.

Any thoughts and recommendations will be really useful as I drag myself towards the starting line of beginning to tile

I like No More Ply 6mm but to be honest in your situation it's just personal choice
