    Can anyone please advise me what backerboard is and is it known by another name.
    I was always under the belief that ply as an underlay was 12mm min, but ive seen some say that 6mm backerboard is ok.

    Many thanks.

    Cementous board which has more strength than ply so can be used thinner than ply

    Except the floor has to adequately braced as it does not add strength to the floor.
