Hardibacker 500, 12mm x 1200 x 800, can hold up to 45kg per sqm of tile in a wall application.....ideal if your going to be using your heavier wall tiles....and really easy to install! :yes:

Skimmed plasterboard can only hold 20kg per sqm and plasterboard 32kg per sqm...

If you want any more info keep the questions coming!!!

Love it, like it, use it a lot - But why does it have to be so blinkin' heavy???!!!

Can you make a lighter version but retain the strength?

Here's a couple of question for you, Hardibacker rep....

1.What screws do you recommend for floors? THe ones I've used so far stick up and have to banged in with a hammer to get them level with the backer board!!!

2. On tuesday Im installing backerboard onto the walls around a bath/shower area. How do I fix it to the wall, on my own! Again, what sort of fixings do I use. Your website states "dowls", what are they? The wall is both plasterboard and brick.

For materials I'm in the North West, CTD is the tile shop I use. Have the usual DIY shops and Topps tiles nearby.

Thanks in advance.

How do you get the hardi screws flush? Used 2 drills(battery and 1 plugged in) on them and still can't get them flush.

backer boards arent normally recommended for following drainage falls in floors why is this and is yours okay for this type of application ??
