    ahhh

    so whats the procedure with these as ive not heard of them?

    like are they screwed at 200mm gaps like ply? do they get primed etc.


    also how would i finish the now smaller step off, i mean when your on the landing would you see the edge of the tile and the cement board at the doorway?

    thanks for your help

    screwed down with flexi adhesive also!
    then you can get a carpet to tile bar that allows for height difference from most diy stores also think schlueter(spell check) do adjustable ones that dave mentioned not so long ago!
