What's the difference between Hardy board & cement backer board? I'm
about to start my bathroom remodeling project and I'm not sure which
of these products to use & where I should use them. I plan on
removing/replacing the bathroom floor and the walls in the shower. Is
it a matter of preference, or are they unique to a specific
application? Also, I'm not sure how difficult of a job it is going to
be to remove the floor (tile & cement board). Any insight into the
demolition and installation of the floor would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know they can be exchanged freely.
If you have a cement floor their really not necessary.
Used a lot on tile counter tops.
I would use blue board, water resistant drywall on all the walls and ceiling
that are not in direct contact with water. Blue board can take the humidity.
