Question:

Where do you install cement boards on flooring?

is it like from the bottom: floor joist, sub floor, cement board, tiles? or what?

Answer:

When you got plywood floor or any wood floor and you want install tiles, you have first install cement boards with liquid nail and screws.
You use a cement board any where you need tile . You install it atop the standard 3/4 wood sub floor. And to install it properly you apply a thin set to the sub floor and then nail or screw it down. NEVER is construction adhesive used to properly install cement board. Using thin set creates a full coverage and won t cause gaps. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL
