do you need to lay backerboard if the place where you want to lay the tile is bare cement

@auzziman911 Thank you very much Auzziman!

@ak99372 you sure can as longt as you nail it correctly if it is a timber floor if it is a concreate for you can lay directly over the top as long as you prepair it right from the start.... you must first sand the lino with a 36 grit sandpaper followed by a good was with annonia then another good wash with plain water, then you must use a 2 part flexible glue that consists of rubber in the glue ... but over 4mm it must be removed as well as the lino glue if on concrete

@auzziman911 I have a tiling question. Can you place backer-board over vinyl linoleum? I think it is too smooth for mortar to grab it and I'm worried it will crack over the time creating space between b-board and linoleum .

Thanks.

@dgard20 you dont need to fill the joints with morter as the tile glue will fill these any way, as for using screws the problem is that the head of the screw will stick up, and if you counter sink them you are braking the surface of the sheet leaveing the screw on an extreamly weak part of the sheet
