After a brief conversation with Bubblecraft
I would like your favourite or 1st choice on backer boards for mainly overboarding floors?
I mainly use No More Ply because it's nice and easy to work with and my main supplier stocks it.

Hardie for me, never had any problems with it and I can get locally....

Marmox

NMP for cement boards, Marmox for insulated boards.

 

[peteablard]

Hardie for me due to availability

Hardie for me too.

 

[Lee@emctiles]

Same as Lee, you use a different board for UFH floors.

NMP for wooden/non UFH floors, PCS for UFH

Would a marmox or pcs insulation board not be used on a ground floor floor boarded floor because of its insulation features? Or is it not meant for overboarding (strengthening) [i haven't used these boards is why I ask]

Tend to sell PCS/Marmox type boards when UFH is involved for themal properties, NMP when you need to strengthen the floor
