  • In 30 years I have never taped the joints in the board and I have never had a failure. I also use roofing nails in a gun to secure the board.

  • I want to my kitchen with either luxury vinyl tile or porcelain, there is plywood underneath the linoleum sheet. can I lay there backer board onto this plywood?

  • So this is good, but you don’t say “why” the steps are important. You are a business so this is already going to look like you are trying to sell your products so giving very good reasons why you should use this would increase the validity of your message. Otherwise, having already been through this process, I see a lot of unnecessary steps that cost a lot of money. It makes me doubt your credibility...Just my two cents.

  • Is this the same thin-set used for the tiles or is a different type?

  • I have to buy all those products? This video is for rich people with a lot of time on their hands lol
