Leveling floor with cement board - TilersForums.com

[average]

You have just made the statement that it can’t be used and now you are suggesting it can be.

Nmp say you can and hardie say you cannot. There’s no point using either on a solid floor anyway when insulation board it better easier and cheaper

How is insulation board better than NMP. Is NMP not more solid than insulation board.

Nmp needs to be primed both sides when being stuck onto concrete.
I think the warping issues have arisen when this isn't done.

Cement reinforced faced insulation boards, prime floor, use flexible adhesive to bond to floor, stagger board joints and fix scrim tape. In addition you could core holes staggered across the board adhesive will lock boards in position, you may also need to weight boards until adhesive sets. When adhesive sets you could add additional fixings into concrete although probably not necessary. Good luck.

This is such a confusing read from start to end.

Be quicker to & better to self level. No faffing about then.

I can't get to it untill Wednesday now. I will be using the insulation boards and self leveller in parts. The time I have to finish this is short. How soon can I tiles over the boards and self leveller. Can I tiles as soon as it walkable on.

Ignore that comment. It's a technique he uses that you really don't need to worry about
