I did this same process at my brother's house back in 2003 the tile has not moved or cracked and looks like new. We are talking the entryway, foyer and walkway to kitchen. This is the right way!
In this video the cement board is mortared to the floor, not the subfloor. That tongue and groove plywood is nailed into the framing of the house. When the tile is out dated, it will be impossible to remove without destroying the floor.
I've removed tiles that directly set on plywood, set on backer board that screw down on floor without thinset in between, set on backer board that brad nailed on floors, yes they are extremely easy to remove, which makes my life a lot easier, but they appear to be no problem to taken the daily beat before renovations. It made me wonder all my previous efforts to follow instructions to the word are really worth it, are there better way to tile, definitely, but how many home owners really keep their tile long enough to see the different?
The main reason I use Rock-on screws is because they have a corrosion-resistant finish. This prevents rust from bleeding into my grout. Also drywall screws chemically react with the alkaline in the cement board. Over time the drywall screws will break down and weaken.
I just love this University of CZcams. Thank you so much for the video this will be my first time putting it down I'm doing a shower and haven't totally decided if I'm just going to go ahead and use that stuff or use well I'm going to use this stuff overall the rest of my flooring but then in the shower I'm just going to
You are amazing you think just like me, wiah I could hire you as I can’t do the job by myself but don’t think you live in Australia. Very honest and and can see you care about your work. Well done!
Nice. I want to use cement board in the bathroom walls and floors. Can I use thin-set between 3/4 OSB subfloor board then mount the cement board, apply red guard 2 layers, then thin-set and apply the tiles? Please advise. Thank you!

What did you use to bond the durock
Thanks for the video. The only issue I see is the trowel lines should point to the shortest distance to make it easier for the air to escape.

One other tip: trowel your thin set perpendicular to the long edge so the air can escape more readily.
Is it bad to use impact drill.

If you place your screen every six inches knowing where the floor joist are is pointless. Am I wrong?
Thinset is a must
Its great to see quality training videos and right way to do things. Thanks.
A nice, concise no BS or mugging for the camera.... just good info ! Thank you

Good video thanks and that seems completely logical to lay it on a bed of thin set. Not only for strength but to fill any air gaps

I have that exact same drill...... Harbor Freight Bauer, does a great job!
do you tape the joints with thin set and mesh tape?
