Floor prep - hardi vs jacko - TilersForums.com

[serval]

Im soon to start overboarding my floor. (22mm chipboard tng) in prep for tiling.
The floor is solid with no bounce.

Having just used jackoboard on the walls and found it so quick and easy to work with im wondering can it be used asan alternative to hardibacker when it comes to overboarding the floor? Would it be a like for like swap? Ie 6mm thick jacko to replace 6mm hardi?

It can yes but you would need fixing washers, so imho Hardibacker is quicker and cheaper alternative.

Cheers Dave. Ive got a bunch of washers left over from doing the walls.
Will check the price difference between the 6mm hardi vs jacko and decide one way or the other
