With the plywood in place install the backer board as you normally would.
Will adhesive luxury vinyl stick to hardibacker board.
Vinyl tile can be extremely difficult to remove because the adhesive that holds it in place gets stronger over time.
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.
Stand on the boards to make sure they re well seated and screw it down while it s still wet.
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.
Should is use adhesive under 1 4 hardibacker.
Yes but i usually glue and screw the new backer board.
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.
Bc plywood over the old subfloor using construction adhesive and driving 1 1 4 in.
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.
How to lay backer board over vinyl flooring.
If needed cut the backerboard to fit in small spaces or around obstructions.
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.
I have a t shaped foyer that s about 64 square feet in size 10 4 3 8.
I have since decided to install vinyl sheet flooring.
To smooth the floor i covered screw.
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.
Add a layer of 1 2 in.
I glue with acrylic modified thinset and screw with 1 25 special screws for hardiebacker.
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.
Here is my concern.
I d suggest hardiebacker or wonderboard both 1 4.
Hi i expected to install tile on my bathroom floor so i installed cement fiber board.
The plywood adds stiffness and stability to the floor.
Additionally vinyl tiles.
Or should i just use screws.
