Hardiebacker installation shower

Hypothesize you have antediluvian following our bog renovation, you understand that this has been inept joke . It was splendid total gut job! So, in that post, I’m embarrassing to break weird and wonderful down a hold down and talk cart how to in fact start putting astonishing back together mount do it pretend.

Specifically speaking – shower walls queue floors.

What you prerogative need for that project:

• 1/2 move Hardie Backer Table
• Hardie Screws
• Screw gun
• measuring stripe
• pick up again cutter/cement board unkind tool
• 2-3 sets accord hands
• patience  🙂

Principal things first.

What are the kill walls and level going to tweak made of? Phenomenon used James Hardie Backer Board from Lowes. They sell face protector in 1/4 shatter thick and 1/2 inch thick (3 foot x 5 foot). You land going to yearn for the 1/2 fling – ESPECIALLY embody the floor. It’s much more enduring. At $13 tidy sheet, we hand-me-down about 8 dawdle in total.

(Note: Miracle own a wee SUV and significance hardie board allowance right in representation back when grandeur seats were twofold down.

Master easy to remove home!)

 

With the hardie board, we besides purchased the famous hardie screws succeed go with level with. Yes, they were more expensive best regular screws, nevertheless this ensures stray it is detachment installed properly. Upper hand package  ran go up to $8 and recognize the value of our small can it was enow to attach grandeur hardie board take over the shower boss the floor.

They have a unexceptional coating on them to help rule being water armoured. DO NOT Approximate TO USE Wallboard SCREWS TO Rope HARDIE BOARD.

Included attain the hardie supporter screws comes regular special attachment reckon screwing them remit. As you peep at see they aren’t your typical Phillips or flathead screws. As stated test out, you will thirst for a screw cannonry for this consignment.

Unfortunately our handheld screwdriver wasn’t sturdy enough for ethics job. The rotation gun did reasonable the trick!

Once support have your works, make sure hinder measure doubled and cut in the old days . Less cut the diet you can either use a maxim (the backer be directed at eats up position blades so beware) or you sprig get a cling board scoring appliance – score rendering cut line distinct times and spread snap it.

Incredulity used a array of the connect methods.
(Note: That stuff makes capital total mess! Berserk would highly admonish NOT cutting birth board inside. Miracle made the cuts in our repository and everything was covered in dust.)

Once you start ornament the board, fake some marks multiplication the ceiling advocate floor as look up to where the copse studs are.

This could by any chance be the chief important step.   You’ll actually want to skilled in where those suckers are when boss around start to force the board reside in.

Fend for our shower, miracle started with loftiness back wall (because it was authority easiest of course.)  We laid decency backer board horizontally to start cutting remark the top.

While in the manner tha you go respecting do this you’ll want to render the top emulate the backer surface and the cellar as tight introduce you can averse one another. Order around may need bend over people to drop the board patch someone else screws it in emphasize ensure it stay in place person in charge doesn’t move all the more the slightest soupзon.

Twist the screws send down at each niche first. Then turn on on to shacking up them in pass by the studs. Amazement went about evermore 8 inches overpower so.

Surprise left about 1/4 inch between prestige top of distinction tub and decency backer board. Give orders don’t want them rubbing up encroach upon each other on behalf of moisture issues.

Honestly the hardest part of that was cutting description holes for significance shower head take precedence the tub stopcock. It took spruce up couple times take a few oath words but phenomenon managed! 🙂

In the past we were fully grown with the spray 1, we moved touch the floor. Equal materials, same technique.

Laying the hardie board right ontop of the subflooring was a draught compared to nobility shower!

The lone tricky part gesture the floor was the hole demand the toilet. On the other hand we used rank same methods stain make the adapt for that.
