First off I'm no carpenter & know very little about home repair.I'm replacing the floor in my bathroom in an older home that the has rotted out.I'v replaced all the 2x6's and braces with new pressure treated stuff. My bath room is 12ft long x5ft wide.I would like to know now if it is possible to use cemenyt wallboard for the flooring without subflooring under it.Since cement is not flexible would it tend to crack when walked on & does it need special fastners to attach it to the 2x6's also how do you make the openings for the comode,waterlines & etc.If this is possible since the cement panels are 3x5 to what would the spacing on the 2x6's on the the 3ft width need to be ? I hope I.v explained this enough for someone to tell me the best things to do.If this is not enough info I will try to answer any questions I can.All help is GREATLY appreciated
