Use the rough side to tile onto.  For timber framework use (alkali resistant) Stainless Steel, Hot dipped galvanised screws, or zinc plated screws.  Screws must have a counter sinking heads.  Never over screw keep heads flush with board.  Ensure fixings are a minimum of 20mm from the bottom and 15mm form the sides at 300mm intervals.  On masonry use high strength cartridge adhesive to provide initial adhesion then fix with 6mm x 60mm s\/steel screws into wall plugs.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.\u003c\/strong\u003e How Do I Fix Magboards to Floors?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e Stagger joints of board. Do not put board joint directly over substrate joint.  Lay rough side up for tiling. Leave a 3mm gap between floor \u0026amp; Wall edges and board joints. For Solid floors apply flexible tile adhesive to substrate using a 6mm notch trowel. For timber floors, fix the boards at maximum 300mm centres using countersunk (alkali resistant screws).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.\u003c\/strong\u003e Can I Use MAGBOARDS in a wetroom?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, but it must be primed and tanked with an appropriate tanking kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.\u003c\/strong\u003e Why should i use jointing tape? and what should i use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e The joint tape helps tie the boards together, helping to disperse any movement of the substrate, which will prevent tiles popping or cracking along the seams.
