Hello one and all,
I am about to refit my bathroom, the old plasterboard was dot and dabbed onto breezeblock however this has failed to hold the weight and is bulging at the bottom.
As well as replacing the suite I have decided to replace the wall as I want to do a proper job.
I have bought Hardibacker for the walls that need to be replaced and was wondering about tanking it. I have heard different opinions on the need to tank when using backer boards - what do people think? Tank or no tank?
If I have to tank can the BAL system be painted directly onto the Hardiebacker? I know I have to prime the back of the boards and the edges with BAL SBR Bond (I checked with BAL) but it explicitly says no to apply this to the facing to be tiled. If the tanking kit is similar to BAL SBR bond then I am not sure that I want to be using it on the Hardiebacker if it will compromise the surface for the tiles to stick to.
