Tiling a floor and using Hardibacker500. Any tips?

[Mike Barnard]

Hi.

Will be doing my bathroom floor next week and the boards are thin. I've bought some of this hardibacker board, a cement style board, but wonder if there's any tricks in using it?

How should it be best secured? Nailed? Screwed? Glued?

Best sealer to apply before tile adhesive?

Best way to make a good 'joint' with the landing floor? Thickness of this, adhesive and tiles will make about an inch step into the bathroom.

Any other tips? Thanks.
