FAQ

Which is better adhesive or mourter for applying ceramic tile on cement board floor?
I would use canned adhesive that you spread with a trowel. It is more uniform. Does not break down like morter will, since morter has sand products in it. Besides, ceramic tile usually has spacing that will be filled in by grout, but some actually butts up together, and some comes already attached to a mesh backing. I believe adhesives that are on the market are much better than morter. In addition, adhesives have better holding power, even on cement board flooring, as long as when you trowel it in, you assure you apply pressure on the trowel to force the adhesive into the cement board matrix.
I've removed the old cement boards and I've put new ones up on the shower walls. My tile will not go to the ceiling. I'm at the step where I need to apply thin-set and tape to all of the cement board seems. What do I do at the seem that transitions from cement board to sheet rock?
Yes tape those seams too. Make sure you nail the dry wall there too w/ a galvanized roofing nail. You may have to do so floating w/ thin set to get it flush but it ll work fine. The thin set , when gluing to dry wall needs to be a fresh batch or just a BIT looser and wetter since dry wall will absorb the thin set fast. Not wet wet just a bit looser.

I'm not to good at figuring out quantities for sheetrock and cement board. I'm redueing my bathroom. I need to figure for how much sheet rock to get. My walls are 56L x 8'H, 6'Lx8'H, and 90Lx8'H. For my bathtub enclosure I have 61Lx82H, 3'Lx82H and 3'Lx82H.Any input on this would be greatly appriciated.
You will need an 8' high sheet for each width you have. 56 + 72 + 90 + 61 + 36 + 36 351 inches 29 feet wide since they are 4 x 8 you have 29 / 4 7.3 sheets you should get more sheets for the waste and different sizes. Maybe 9 - 10 sheets.
I plan on tiling a bathroom in a basement. I was wondering could I just glue the backer board on the painted cinder block walls. I don't want to use screws or nails.
Use thin set to bond it to the cement walls. As a precaution I always have braces set up to hold it in place until the thin set dries. Rough the paint up well and wipe dust down and use a latex thin set to bond with. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar ..GL
What is the use of fiber cement board
Fiber cement version can replace paper gypsum board, and in terms of strength, fire and moisture are much better. Fiberglass trim panels replace stone and decorative tiles for wall finishes. Because of its specifications generally 1220 * 2440, can be the whole board on the wall, so do the wall decoration with stone and tiles can not do the big face of the solid color effect. Fiber cement panels are widely used in Europe, especially in Japan.
hi my daughters room has cement sheeting (panels) that make up her walls and roof and it looks really bad. I can see the joining lines even though its been painted over - do i have to remove all the walls and have the walls re plastered? is there any handy hits to fix this up? not sure you could putty up the lines and sand back as the boards currently up have big grooves - i did think about wood paneling around the room but you would still have the roof issue and the board lines above the panels - looking for a cost effective solution. Thanks heaps
DO NOT do any sanding or cutting or breaking of these boards, the dust can cause cancer withing months to 20 years as the fibers get permanently lodged in your lungs. there are special company's that deal with removing it. DIY terms you could always line the walls with new studs and put new plaster board ( as long as your studs are nailed to existing studs) but that would make your room smaller and you would have to extend the electrical. Or you could just sheet over the existing sheeting.
