No. Under British Standards BS 5385 Part 1, plywood is not a suitable substrate for the direct fixing of wall tiles, therefore when tiling onto walls, a tile backer board is required. However, tiling onto plywood overlaid floors is acceptable under British Standards.
Yes, CemBond® Max Strength Sealant/Adhesive is necessary for all CEMBLOC® installation guides to protect and adhere the boards in place.
The CemBacker® boards should be laid with the print side up, with the text located on the top corner of the board. If the text cannot be found, the boards have a smooth side (the printed side) and a slightly textured side to the rear. Whilst it does not matter which side is tiled onto, it is recommended to tile onto the smoother surface.
CemBacker® is a fibre cement boards made from organic fibre, sand, cement, and water. The mixture of these ingredients is critical to produce a strong, firm, water-resistant board suitable for heavy tiles and moisture.
We recommend using the CemBacker 12mm for stud partitions. Apply a bead of CemBond Max Strength down the length of the studs then screw the Cembacker 12mm into the stud. This method is used to close the hole up to risk the risk of water passing.
For a solid foundation for your tiles, it is recommended to prime CemBacker® Tile Backer Boards with Cembond® SBR to improve tile adhesion and adhesive open times.
Board may be cut cleanly and easily by scoring one side of the board using a hard tipped scoring tool, the snapped over a solid block. The use of a Polycrystalline blade is always recommended to speed up the process and efficiency.
Both CemBacker® 6mm and 12mm Tile Backer Boards are ideal for tiling but are used differently. The CemBacker® 6mm Tile backer is used to strengthen timber floors and overcome deflection without unnecessary floor height build-up. On the other hand, the CemBacker® 12mm Tile backer is designed to carry the heaviest tiling materials and is fixed directly to stud work in high traffic areas.
We recommend using CemBond® Max Strength Sealant/Adhesive along with CEMBLOC® FCB screws when installing CemBacker®.
So, when tiling your wall, the use of CemBacker® 12mm is engineered to allow tile weights up to 105kg/m2 when following the installation best practices (as noted in the CemBacker® TDS/Install Guide).
