Advice for adhesives when using hardibacker on a chipboard floor - TilersForums.com

[Darren]

Hi, just looking for some advice on tiling onto hardibacker which will be on top of a chipboard floor. Which non-flexible bal adhesive should I use to lay the hardibacker board on and what flexible adhesive to lay the tiles on?

The Floor area is and in a bathroom and is not very big

I would use an S2 based adhesive above and below

It's not Bal I know, but I'd recommend 'keraquick' all round.

If you'd like it S2 flexible then mix it with latex plus instead of water.

When I used to use Bal products I've always fitted Hardie with an spf, both rapid & standard set.
Never ever had a problem, an s2 won't do any harm but I would be more than happy using an s1.
Also used Weber spf & now all I use is TileMaster SetaFlex.

A single part flex would suffice...

Thanks for the help people I've done a lot of wall tiling but never had to tile off a chipboard floor. So would BAL single part fastflex be a good option for both under the board and setting the tiles?

Anybody?
