Cement boards do not add to the structural integrity of a substrate, they are just an inert tileable substrate that is unaffected by moisture ingress,
and should not be used to strengthen a floor.
That’s according to manufacturers guidelines.

You need to add 18 to 22mm ply over the caberboard as it is not strong enough to tile over !usually that caberboard has joists further apart also !! I would never stick to that stuff anything !!I have a job coming up to tile on caberboard. 10mm porc. Floor is rock solid. Rather than overboard. I’m thinking decoupling mat. Any thoughts ?
