If needed cut the backerboard to fit in small spaces or around obstructions.
Will adhesive luxury vinyl stick to hardibacker board.
Score the board with a utility knife then cut it using a jig saw with a carbide blade.
Or should i just use screws.
Additionally vinyl tiles.
I know peel and sticks are definatly the cost saver but as for them not holding up i haven t had a problem one with my kitchen.
Bc plywood over the old subfloor using construction adhesive and driving 1 1 4 in.
I d suggest hardiebacker or wonderboard both 1 4.
The adhesive is supposed to be there not to stick the board down but to fill any voids but in reality it also sticks it down of course.
No need to use the hardie screw most use something like screwfix turbos.
Vinyl tile can be extremely difficult to remove because the adhesive that holds it in place gets stronger over time.
I glue with acrylic modified thinset and screw with 1 25 special screws for hardiebacker.
To smooth the floor i covered screw.
Should is use adhesive under 1 4 hardibacker.
I have a t shaped foyer that s about 64 square feet in size 10 4 3 8.
Hi i expected to install tile on my bathroom floor so i installed cement fiber board.
How to lay backer board over vinyl flooring.
Snap a grid to the subfloor using a chalk line to mark your backerboard placement.
Peel and press tiles will stick better if you apply 2 3 coats of adhesive primer to the backer same aisle in the store as the tile.
The boards are fixed to the subfloor surface with screws and nails installed every 200mm 15mm apart from the edges of the board and 50mm from its corners.
Yes but i usually glue and screw the new backer board.
Here is my concern.
I m going to strip the vinyl flooring and underlayment down to the original subfloor so the new tiled floor can be as even with the hardwood in the adjoining space.
The chosen non flexible tile adhesive should be applied to the subfloor when the 6mm hardiebacker floor board should be slowly embed into the wet adhesive.
The plywood adds stiffness and stability to the floor.
Add a layer of 1 2 in.
Screws every 6 in.
It was definately a big waste of time and a little money using that hardi just for vinyl peel and sticks it does stick fine but not nearly as well as to plywood.
