How to install tile backer boards to a stud wall
Preparation: For a stud wall build with 600mm centres, use 20mm backer board or thicker. 10mm and 12.5mm thick boards require studs at 300mm centres. All board edges should be supported.
Fixing:Use a tile backer board screws and washers every 300mm on each stud. The washers prevent pitting in the board surface. When a stud is at 600mm centres, use 20 rows of 5 fixings. At 300mm centres, use 3 rows of 5 fixings.
Tiling: Be sure to tape all the joints with scrim tape, except in wet areas where the Marmox Self-Adhesive Waterproof tape should be used. The boards are now ready to be tiled.
Plastering: Seal boards together using a bead of Evo-Stik prior to scrim-taping, do not use Waterproof tape under plaster. The boards are now ready to be plastered.
