Thanks, Bill. Hey, I answered my own question. I bought a sheet of each. The Hardi cuts and works much easier. The screw can be screwed in flush with no problems. FYI, Bill.

However, experienced difficulties cutting it as most of it would break extremely off from the intended cutting edge No matter how deep the cut was made with the blade.
I also noticed that hardy board was very messy as dust particles would end up on clothing and surrounding environment; and worst thing, I was starting the project. Worst of all, mandatory government regulated label on product clearly states that prolonged inhalation of such product may cause cancer. I was forced to clean my house, and dispose all used hardyboard, and return the unused hardyboard to the store to exchange it for wonderboard. Wonderboard is much convenient to install and cheaper.
Best practice is to go with the Kerdi Schlueter system. You have to purchase from a tile store--big box stores don't well them. We could not find it when we re-did the upstairs bathroom and went with hardyboard. Leaking behind tile is a pain!!! Their systems is quite expensive.
Home owner hardyboard was fairly easy cut however very difficult to drive screws flush with board, i had to predrill and counter sink to pull board tite to floor. I will never use Hardyboard again. Indem Sie weiterhin auf der Website surfen bzw. Mehr erfahren. Ultimate Lighting Sale.
