    Default On the edge of hardibacker

    Hi all

    Can anyone help me. I have been wondering about this problem I may come to one day, Lets say that someone requires hardi backer in a corner of their bathroomand that you end up having a vertical edge showing after tiling. What do you finish the edge off with? Silicone? A very deep tile trim?

    I have asked an experianced tiler and he said use a thinner waterproofing system. But what if the client demands the use of hardibacker?

    Please put my mind at rest.

    I removed the plasterboard first,
    so ended the same thickness,

    Hardi is great stuff, real strong

    you don't put the hardie on top of plasterboard! it works as a like for like swap except it has better tiling values!and if you did i don't think there is a trrim out there that would finish it off,it would need to be finished with some kind of listello!
