Can I fit a wall-hung toilet to Marmox board?

[martinthompson]

Hi... I'm using 20mm Marmox board as a tile-backer in my new en-suite wetroom. I've not use this product before. I know it can support heavy tiles... but will allow me to mount a wall-hung toilet (using a frame) or will it crumple as I tighten the fixings?

Any advice would be appreciated.

If you mean as you tighten the toilet pan against it? Then no it wont.

If you tighten a single nut up to it without a washer, then quite possibly; probably,even.

you need some decent timber frame. toilet will have to support 100kg+

This frame must be securely installed against a solid wall. Any board used does not bear any significant load.
Remember to include a way of accessing cistern etc after tiling...

I've got the proper frame for it - I'm just worried that the Marmox board might squish when I tighten the nuts.

Thanks - the nuts and bolts tighten at the back don't they... so this should be o.k.?

Usually you would set the frame and then install the cistern, soil and pan hanger bolts into it. Once you are happy all is in correct position fit the board in place to conceal frame; the hanger bolts, obviously, protrude through the board and the nuts tighten up to the pan once you've hung it on to the bolts!

Thank you... that's great.
