Screws every 6 in.
Will adhesive luxury vinyl stick to hardibacker board.
To smooth the floor i covered screw.
Bc plywood over the old subfloor using construction adhesive and driving 1 1 4 in.
Should is use adhesive under 1 4 hardibacker.
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.
Here is my concern.
Additionally vinyl tiles.
I have since decided to install vinyl sheet flooring.
The plywood adds stiffness and stability to the floor.
I have a t shaped foyer that s about 64 square feet in size 10 4 3 8.
No need to use the hardie screw most use something like screwfix turbos.
Snap a grid to the subfloor using a chalk line to mark your backerboard placement.
Stand on the boards to make sure they re well seated and screw it down while it s still wet.
Hi i expected to install tile on my bathroom floor so i installed cement fiber board.
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.
Score the board with a utility knife then cut it using a jig saw with a carbide blade.
I glue with acrylic modified thinset and screw with 1 25 special screws for hardiebacker.
How to lay backer board over vinyl flooring.
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.
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 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.
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.
Vinyl tile can be extremely difficult to remove because the adhesive that holds it in place gets stronger over time.
If needed cut the backerboard to fit in small spaces or around obstructions.
Add a layer of 1 2 in.
Yes but i usually glue and screw the new backer board.
Or should i just use screws.
