Can I lay tile on top of an old cultured marble top w/o cement board or plywood?
no.... you have to have some type of underlyment..... or it will come out like crap....
Redoing my tub and shower tearing it out and instaling new walls and tile thanks.
If you are installing ceramic tile then you definitely need to use cement board in the shower/tub area. Green board with ceramic tile would be okay for other parts of the bathroom walls, but not in the shower/tub. Green board is water resistant, but it is not really waterproof and should not be used in a shower. Cement board is not affected at all by water so it is great to use in shower.
I'm preparing to replace the tiles in my foyer. It's a townhouse, about 20 years old with no basement. I don't know much in the way of construction, but since it's on ground level I think there might just be a cement slab underneath the existing tile. Can I install the tiles directly over the cement slab after removing the old tile or do I need a backer board? And if I do, how do I account for the height difference? Thanks in advance!
Cement board is only 1/2 thick, concrete would be at least 2 ( probably 6 thick) you will know the difference by taping it with a hammer. You can remove the existing tiles and install new tiles onto the existing concrete. If any concrete is broken or damage, you will have to patch the broken concrete, let dry, and install tiles 24 hours later. Wait 24 hours before you grout.
should I use cement board or a leveling compound for my tile flooring?
On a wood floor use the backer board, on concrete use a leveling compound unless a 1/2 notched trowel can fill the gap with your thinset.
the cement boards are ahold by 1 nails
those are probably asbestos! caulk the damages with acrylic latex and paint.
do i need to put down cement board on concrete before laying tile?
No okorder /i.html?_nkwtile+un...
Hi All,Basically what I am trying to say is that I have a wooden board which will be placed vertically on the floor and would be a decoration.I want to have a coating of cement of some sort on it and make some patterns on it.I like to know if it is possible to lay a thin coating layer of cement or even tile bond glue to a wooden board, lets say a timber board.basically anything that can give me the concrete/cement look as rough as that.. uld be any kind of cement or tiling glue or such...Thanks
It might crack on you so why don't you just use some modeling clay and use a trowel and just play with it to look like cement
What is the quota of cement board
Cement board does not seem to have a special quota, it is basically the same installation process with the gypsum board, you can borrow the gypsum board fixed sub-head, modify the name and price can only reference
