People also ask, can you use 1 2 Hardibacker floors?For flooring, typically one uses the 1/4″ board. The product does nothing to add strength to the floor, so only use the 1/2″ if the additional height is needed. 1/2″ is used generally for walls.Also Know, what thickness Hardibacker should I use? Choose the Right Thickness of HardieBacker You should use 1/4 inch thick HardieBacker for floor tile applications unless 1/2 thick panels are needed for transition purposes between adjacent rooms. Keeping this in view, do I have to use thinset under Hardibacker? Since you are putting down hardie board on boards with small gaps, I would not recommend trying to put down thinset under it. It will make an enormous mess under the house (or whatever is under your bathroom). It is also more likely to make the floor uneven since it is hard to level thinset that is separated by gaps.Can I use 1/4 cement board on floors?Floors. Both 1/4- and1/2-inch cement board are appropriate for floors. To install cement board on floors, cement board manufacturers mandate a 5/8-inch plywood subfloor or OSB underlayment. They also require a 3/4-inch subfloor where tile size exceeds 12 inches.
