Tile Backer Board

Hello, You secure the backer boards to the floorboards using a tile adhesive. Kind Regards, Walls and Floors.

Hello and thank you for your enquiry. Based on the information you have given, Hardie backer will be a good choice. However it is a British Standards recommendation that all shower areas are also tanked, which will help prvent the moisture problem you are trying to avoid. The stud wall should be mad to line up with the existing tiles of the adjacent if they are already fixed. But all corners where the tiles meet must be filled with a silicone sealant. For the gap between the bath and the wall, a shelf can be made, also using hardie backer and also tanked. Before tiling, a waterproof jointing tap can be used to seal the between the shelf and the wall. It would look best if an adjustment can be made so that finished height of the tiled shelf is fitted just below the bath rim, then sealed with silicone to the bath. Following this procedure will ensure you substrate remains well protected. I am unsure of the door position and how it ties in with the remainder of the room, so will not be able to advise about the finish in that area at this stage. However if you are able to take a photo of the room as it is, to sales@wallsandfloors.co.uk, we will be more than happy to advise you further. Regards Walls And Floors

Hi Andrew, These boards can be fixed using a combination of cement based tile adhesive and screws depending on the substrate. No further adhesive required. If they are being installed onto a stud wall, they can just be screwed direct to the studs. Once the boards are installed, the fibre tape can be fixed over the joints and bedded into tile adhesive to prevent issues from potential movement: Regards. Walls and Floors
