Hi could I use 6mm Marmox Boards on an upstairs chipboard wetroom floor that will then have u/f heating installed and then tiled or should it be 10mm

Good afternoon. I went to look at a job yesterday with one wall being studded out. Most of the wall is plasterboard and the rest is hardie backer in the shower area. The plasterers then plastered the plasterboard and stopped where it met the backer board meaning they have now created a lip...

What's wrong with this following system that I can't help considering? - I'm starting with recently laid solid and level 18mm wbp over suspended timber floor joists which comprises a bathroom floor. This ply replaced floor boards in bad condition. Area about 4 sq m - A shower tray former if...

Hello. I have to screw down Hardie Backer board on existing floorboards (with adhesive) for tiling first floor bathroom and toilet. The Hardie Backer is 800mm wide, the toilet is 830mm. Is it OK to have a 20mm strip of Hardie Backer on one side? I could not screw it down then. Or should I...

Hello I am new to the forum and would appreciate some expert advice. The question is: Is there some kind of self-leveling compound that can be used ON TOP of Marmox boards. Having just knocked down a dividing wall, I find that one floor (already insulated with Marmox) is LOWER than the other...

Probably been covered but want to fix 6mm marmox boards to plywood floor and I believe both adhesive and marmox screws and washers but was wondering if the adhesive should be a solid bed or combed and can I just use a slim bed? also will be fixing UFH to the marmox once fitted and therefore...

Hi all.. I'm putting in tile backer board for my wet rooms and purchased the thin silver screws with it but my question is to the experienced can you use drywall screws to hang the backer board up with instead of these self tapping type screws. its no more ply I'm using... Thanks in...

Just about to take on my first attempt at tiling and do my bathroom. The walls are in a pretty poor state under the old tiles so planning to use Marmox backing board fixed to solid wall to give me the best chance of an even finish without the need to get a plasterer and wait for the plaster to...

Hi, I'm after some advice on preparing the walls and floor of a bathroom for tiling. I want waterproof boards around the shower, and I'm currently going with Marmox. First question is on the stiffness of the Marmox boards: are 12.5mm boards really OK to go straight onto stud walls? There won't...

Hi all, first post so play nice! I am about to start a rebuild of our bathroom. It is stud walls on all sides with plasterboard. The floor is T&G chip board. Due to leaks over the years I am going to have to replace the floor boards. Along one wall we have stud box work covering the pipes...

Good morning all. I'm sure this questions be answered before but used hardie a while back and found that when screwing there recommended screws into the board the heads of the screw sat slightly prob of the board and either didn't go down or was a nightmare to get in board level. I gave marmox a...

Hi, I'm looking for advice on fixing some hardibacker board onto the floor of a shower cubicle. The hardibacker board is being installed to give an added layer of protection to the particle board subfloor. A steel shower tray with frame and feet will then sit on the backer board. The...

Just ripped a shower out and the walls were standard ply just tiled straight on top (hence all the tiles falling off!). It would be handy to grab another couple of mm due to the new tiles being a lot thicker, so I was going to use 10mm Marmox board. Sounds like it's suitable according to Marmox...

Hi, I've just popped in from the plumbers forum to ask you experts.. I've ripped the remains of the skimmed stud wall plasterboard with tiles over from my shower alcove. It had a 760 tray and a false wall to fit. Without putting another false wall in I can fit a 800 tray in. But that leaves me...

I needed to replace 3 tiles and in removing the old ones the backer board has got damaged - the tiles were on Marmox board so it damages fairly easily. I'm guessing there is no way to effectively repair the board so I think the way forward would be to remove the existing board that is exposed...
