[QUOTE="Alan, post: 913785"] The joists are at 400 centres and there are 5 screws to each joist at 125mm centres. The floor is level to within 1mm ( I levelled it with packers on the joists where required). There is very little bounce which I verified by filling a glass to the brim placing it on the floor and jumping up and down. No water spilled out (I saw that test on a website and thought I would try it). I know it is not advisable but adding another 8mm for Hardibacker and the cement adds too much height. It is not a wetroom, there is a shower tray for the shower so water on the floor will be minimal. I understand why professionals would not want to do it because of the comeback if there are failures, but for DIY, if the floor is solid, providing the right adhesive is used I can't see the problem [/QUOTE]
