I think I'd be wanting to know why your current tiles are "popping" before even considering laying new ones.
p.s. there is a seperate tiling forum ya know.

Sounds like you need to stiffen up your floor beneath the backer board. I don't use backer board cause it doesn't add much rigidity compared to ply wood. Look at replacing the backer board with ply and then re-tiling with flexible powdered adhesive.
Nope, you're in flooring. As it says under the title - "All aspects of flooring and stairs discussed here except tiling." There's a seperate tiling section.scd3 said:
