Steps to follow in how to install tiles in the Hardie Backer board.

Like the 70's style ad jingle

[@19baitmaster51]

he didn't mention it, but trowel your thinset in a straight line, not in swirly pattern. It lets the air out better from underneath the tile or cement board.

In UK and Topps Tiles are telling me to tile the rough side of the 12mm board, but Hardie say you can do either but they recommend the smooth side. Is there a reason why NOT to do the rough side?

[@africandreamsinhaze365]

nice

[@ImCrazyUr2]

What song are they playing here? Is this some sort of Hardie Backer theme song? Where can I listen to the whole thing?

[@mariodesalo8450]

I have seen videos where the wall is prep with a primer to prevent mold and mildew.

[@tedpendagast579]

That’s what hardiebacker is It’s pretreated

[@matthewmurray8434]

What thinset is recommended for hardie backer when installing porcelain floor tile

[@19baitmaster51]

Modified thinset.

[@mikamaraialaikorovou356]

Is that cement base tile glue

[@oldschooljack3479]

Whoever did the Hardie jingle must've been the same ones who did the Menard's jingle.

Question: If I have Vinyl Tile on my floor now, which is as solid as cement- can I install hardibacker board on top of that so I can install porcelain Tile? I tried removing the vinyl tile but its extremely difficult, even with heater guns/torch. I have 400 sq ft to do and don't think its logical to kill myself on the removal of vinyl tile. Never came across this before after 30 years of tiling.

Hey Are you from the UK ?

[@bretparker5757]

Be fine yes, screw every 6-8 inches nice and tight!

[@Biggerskills]

Hope you didn’t bother taking that vynl off 😂

[@andrewfeazelle]

Is the song written by Hardie’s nephew?

[@christopherdalley411]

What about that red hydroboard that Hardie has?

[@SnugBmw]

From the racetrack To the outback

[@neilarmstrong6082]

Why did he add powder then water ? Thats how to burn the drill out 🤷‍♂️

[@kirkstinson7316]

You messed up. Step 2 is after mixing thin set let it slake for 5 min then mix again

[@modify1ful]

Thanks for this. I’m about to start my first tile job and didn’t know to do this so thanks.

[@thorthunder3227]

Why not just pour epoxy down and lay the tiles in that and for sure they will stick and not break or move even.

[@marlenemyers8441]

Gb

[@slayerspam]

Im considering buying a gun because of that jingle in the background.

[@stics412]

Hardie is with you 😂

[@andrewmorke]

That song is too much. ROFL.

[@benitocaspo8493]

it is not necesary to back butter the tile

[@kennethsouthard6042]

But i doubt it will hurt. I saw another video that says you only have to back better if its porcelain tile but not ceramic

[@fenderstratguy]

Kenneth Southard I never saw or heard of anyone backbuttering a tile before this video. Guess I laid my entire floor wrong then

[@toddbelforte]

Super low quality audio, and that James Hardie country bumpkin annoying hillbilly theme song running through the video Is so distracting. It doesn’t add anything

[@jn1mrgn]

Complete with a corny theme song.

[@ianhankin8833]

bloody awful backing music

[@davidjames2145]

That song is 100% cringeworthy. 🤢
