My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Cement Board Flooring

8 years ago

I am building a workshop that will be used primarily for welding and metal working.


I trying to find the best flooring to install over the plywood base.


Can I install cement board over the plywood without laying tile over it?

Is cement board durable enough on its own to be used as flooring by itself?
