HardieBacker™ 1/4" Cement Backer Board, with EZ Grid® Technology

In-Stock

Specifications:
HardieBacker™ 1/4" Cement Board, with EZ Grid® Technology, for floors and countertops is America´s best selling 1/4" board. It's the solution you can trust for your wet area floors, walls, ceilings, and countertops. This no-mesh board is the lightest cement board available and cuts easily, even in tight, awkward spaces.

Q. Which side goes up, smooth or rough?
A: Either is acceptable, but we recommend that the smooth side with the nailing pattern of every 8" on center go up.

Q. What subfloor should HardieBacker board be installed over?
A: The minimum subfloor specified is 5/8" exterior grade plywood or 23/32'' exterior grade OSB subflooring. HardieBacker board must be installed in accordance with local building codes and the floor must be engineered not to exceed the L/360 deflection criteria, including live and dead design loads, for the specific joist spacing used. HardieBacker board is not designed for use over concrete.

Q. Why do I have to use thinset between HardieBacker board and the subfloor?
A: Dry set (ANSI 118.1) or acrylic modified thinset (ANSI 118.4) is specified between the HardieBacker board and the subfloor to eliminate any deviations between our product and the subfloor. This decreases the probability of popping or cracking tiles due to deflection and air pockets.

Q. Why do I have to tape the joints? What is the purpose of the 2'' wide tape?
A: The tape will help disperse any movement of the substrate, therefore decreasing the probability of popping or cracking tiles along the seams.
