tiling over yello tongue in bathrooms

Page 1 of 1
Hi all
I am renovating my bathrooms & am needing to tile over yellow tongue. I am going to put 6mm fiber cement sheeting over the yellow tongue & then waterproofing before tiling. Does anyone know the difference between 6mm ceramic tile underlay sheets & 6mm fibre cement sheets? Also when securing sheeting to yellow tongue, is it necessary(or better) to use a tile glue under the cement sheets before screwing them down?

Thanks
These sheets are both the same just different names, they both are fibre cement sheeting.
We glue the sheets as well to help from any movement within the floor. Make sure when you place the sheets down that you offset the joints so they dont line up with the existing floor.
Thanks for the reply splashers.
Has anyone got any suggestions on tile adhesive brands that are better than others? or any I should avoid?

Cheers
Also to add to splashers comment, make sure you also offset the joins of the underlay
