Should I Be Useing Hardiebacker?

[On one]

Hey @Lakey,
I've changed the thread title so that your question is more relevant.
It was a little confusing.

Using Hardie will suit your purpose just fine.
And using a flexible adhesive for both the Hardie and tiles would be the right way to go imo.

Hardie say that only a non flexible adh is required and that is only required where the floorboards require gap filling,so even the adh may not be required in this case if the floorboards are new(and flat)

That's cos ur a tight wad! Hahaha

But how d'u know ur a Raimondi fan if u haven't tried the Rubi? Hehe

Haha did want to give them a go but couldn't find anywhere that did them by the 1000 or 2000. Only found starter sort packs and cost alot. maybe was looking are enough.
What you pay for 2000?

@Lakey the screws do the fixing for the hardie board not the adhesive, its just there to fill voids between wood floor and hardie board.

D'u know everyone knows I normally answer chapter and verse!.
So there's me trying to make posts less longwinded and said that there was nothing wrong with his intentions, which there's not!

@JulianSidney, thought that as he intended to use addy then I didn't need to explain about the function of the screws

@wrighty, I know it recommends non flexible, however, I'll bet on vast majority of us feel that spf is a better way to go, cos it makes sense in our head!
And to be fair, floorboards new or not, how often are they flat enough to not need adhesive!

This is not me digging at u!
It's me digging at me! Haha

Can't find them by the 1000 @3_fall , but if you are going to use them you may as well stock up and save some money for volume buying.

Where can I buy them by the 1000 then mate?

I don't know, that's the point if you could I would be more inclined to give them a go. I am not going to pay that sort of money for small quantities

No problem 3-fall
Just with so many people/companies trying to wangle there way out of it......it often helps to follow ''the letter of the law'' which in Hardie's case will be use their screws,their tape their.............and ''oh you used a flexible adh,sorry no guarantee!

Yeah ur absolutely right mate!
I totally agree with where you're coming from!
So I'll go away with my tail between my legs and apologise!

......but I'll still use flexi and I certainly won't use their screws! They're useless! But then I know it won't fail!

But respect to Wrighty! Honestly!

Ooow it's the night for apologies! Haha
This is 3rd tonight! Hahaha

Misunderstood u Julian, sorry mate.
Yep seems I missed a word out in your first post, think I got excited about seeing 1000&2000! Haha I wish! 400 at best is about £52, (13p each) that I can find anyway.
