Can this be used on a floor frame by itself? if so will 1/4 in be sufficient? Trying to keep it l...
Asked by Jewelz February 28, 20215
AnswersI would not recommend using this without some other structure to support it. This is designed to lay on a subfloor and doesn't have enough strength to support standing on. You could probably use it on wall framing but not on the floor by itself. I am able to bend and break the 1/4 board with my hands.

Unlike brittle boards
Has an excellent bendable character to it, easy to score, easy to bend and separate after the score, great to handle, easy to screw, clean edges for great fit. I favor a dry fit first, then label each one, set aside, lay the thin set for one, secure the one, thin set for two, and so on. I have used other backer boards, but this works the best.

Used this on top of the sub floor before putting down tile. The grids make it easy to cut accurately and also help installers with nail placements. It is much easier to handle than other brands which require 2 people to carry to avoid breakage.
