Last week I spoke to another contractor who uses 1/2 drywall over the studs. Then laminates felt with roofing adhesive to the drywall. Then the hardibacker.

WHY pray tell?

He says that is makes for a stiffer wall behind the tile.

.....and why would a stiffer wall behind the tile be necessary? What's the point?

My grandpappy used to have to stand in front of his automobile and crank a big handle in hopes that it would start the motor running. Things change. No one ever accussed anyone in the UK of being progressive anyway.
