Hardibacker For Shower

Hardiebacker cement board is made better to install better and perform better.

Hardibacker for shower. Push the tip of the keyhole saw into the backerboard and then saw. That s why it was named the most preferred brand of backer board by tile installers and contractors according to the 2019 tile and stone report conducted by clearseas research in partnership with the national tile contractors association and tile magazine. All are made of 100 percent inorganic materials that will not rot shrink delaminate or decompose when exposed to moisture.

Cement board is a cement backerboard designed for use with walls floors and countertops. I ve rebuilt 3 entire homes over the decades but this is my first attempt at building a tile. This works the same way for drywall.

Use on walls in moisture prone areas as a tile backerboard and as an underlayment for all tile vinyl and wood flooring applications. There are several acceptable applications of cement board in the shower. I m building a 4 x6 shower using hardibacker on the walls sealed with redgard and a goof proof shower kit and oatey shower pan liner to build the pan and don t particularly want the tiles to fall off the walls or pop loose from the pan.
