When Installing Hardiebacker on Walls, Is It Necessary to Tile Over It? What Makes Hardiebacker Board Different From Moisture Resistant Wallboard or Gypsum Backing Board? What Makes Hardiebacker Board Different From Other Cement Boards? When Should I Use Hardiebacker Board on Floors? If you're applying tile over a concrete floor, you can apply tile directly to the floor and don't need a backerboard. However, if you're applying over any other substrate such as plywood or OSB, you'll want to use a backerboard to ensure that your tile stays put and doesn't crack. Hardiebacker board offers an exceptionally strong bonding surface for tile to adhere to, so your floors look beautiful and stay that way. Hardiebacker 1/4" or 1/2" Board on Floors? Hardiebacker 1/4" board has more compressive and flexural strength than any 1/2" cement board on the market. It's the recommended thickness for flooring applications unless you need additional height for transition purposes, in which case we recommend Hardiebacker 1/2" board. When Should I Use Hardiebacker 1/2" Board on Walls? Hardiebacker 1/2" board is used as a tile backer substrate or as a replacement for drywall. At a minimum, Hardiebacker board should be installed around your tub and shower areas since these places are especially prone to water damage and mold growth. However, for optimal moisture and mold protection, consider installing it on all wet area walls since moisture can travel throughout a room. When Installing Hardiebacker on Walls, Is It Necessary to Tile Over It? Unlike glass mesh cement board, Hardiebacker board's smooth surface may be textured, painted, wallpapered or tiled to fit all your décor needs. What Makes Hardiebacker Board Different From Moisture Resistant Wallboard or Gypsum Backing Board? Moisture resistant wallboard (greenboard) is not intended for use in wet areas and is no longer approved by the International Residential Code for such applications. Gypsum is known to disintegrate over time with continuous moisture exposure and the paper facing on greenboard can serve as a food source for mold. Unlike gypsum wallboard, Hardiebacker cement board is recognized by industry trade groups, including the Tile Council of America, for use in wet areas. Its proprietary cement formulation stands tough over time and under water. What Makes Hardiebacker Board Different From Other Cement Boards? What differentiates Hardiebacker board is its durability, workability, and flexibility with finish. Hardiebacker board is the only brand on the market that delivers the durability of Portland cement, but without any abrasive aggregate that can scratch porcelain and enamel surfaces. It's the lightest cement board on the market, but delivers nearly three times the compressive and flexural strength of any other cement board. Its superior moisture and mold resistance, combined with its smooth surface that can be textured, painted, wallpapered, or tiled, makes Hardiebacker board the total wet area solution.
