Tiling a floor and using Hardibacker500. Any tips?
 

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.
