Here is my concern.
Will adhesive luxury vinyl stick to hardibacker board.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have since decided to install vinyl sheet flooring.
I glue with acrylic modified thinset and screw with 1 25 special screws for hardiebacker.
How to lay backer board over vinyl flooring.
Snap a grid to the subfloor using a chalk line to mark your backerboard placement.
I d suggest hardiebacker or wonderboard both 1 4.
No need to use the hardie screw most use something like screwfix turbos.
Yes but i usually glue and screw the new backer 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.
The plywood adds stiffness and stability to the floor.
Add a layer of 1 2 in.
Score the board with a utility knife then cut it using a jig saw with a carbide blade.
To smooth the floor i covered screw.
With the plywood in place install the backer board as you normally would.
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.
I have a t shaped foyer that s about 64 square feet in size 10 4 3 8.
Or should i just use screws.
Hi i expected to install tile on my bathroom floor so i installed cement fiber board.
Should is use adhesive under 1 4 hardibacker.
Additionally vinyl tiles.
Bc plywood over the old subfloor using construction adhesive and driving 1 1 4 in.
