Hardie Board Over Vinyl Flooring

Here is my concern.

Hardie board over vinyl flooring.

The linoleum makes the mortar harder to adhere properly if it was left in place most tile manufacturers recommend you to use backerboard screws and mortar to ensure it is properly installed taking the linoleum out gives any moisture a better escape route since vinyl is essentially blocking the subfloor. Current flooring surface is 3 4 plywood subfloor one layer of lino over that and then a layer of 12 12 lino tiles over that. Use a notched trowel to apply thin set adhesive to the vinyl flooring. Apply adhesive to floor.

To smooth the floor i covered screw. Screw down any loose area into the subfloor with 3 4 inch drywall screws. Most of the vinyl flooring i have seen done up here is over particle board. Good luck installing tile over that.

3 lay out the backer. I have since decided to install vinyl sheet flooring. For best results remove existing floor covering especially if it is in poor condition again reading the installation. The lino tiles are in pretty good shape none popping loose.

I d like to lay down 1 4 hardibacker and then. Lay the cement backer board on the floor while the thin set is still wet. The problem isn t with the mortar sticking to the vinyl it is what is under the vinyl and how well it is stuck down. Attach the backer board to the floor using self countersinking screws such as backer on screws available at the home depot.

Hardiebacker cement board may be installed under or over vinyl composition tile vct and other resilient flooring. For best results remove existing floor covering especially if it is in poor condition. The backer board is only as secure as the vinyl below it so make sure the vinyl is laid down tightly.
