What is the edging thickness and does it attach to the wood studs, under the cement board, or over the cement board?

It's about the same thickness as Durock. You need to install the niche to the studs securely before the waterproof sheet rock (like Durock). The edge of Durock and the niche will almost be flushed when it's installed correctly. Your tile guy can tape the area before he installs tiles so that it will have seamless surface to work on. We love the product!

It attaches to the wood studs. The cement board goes right up against the edge of the niche. Not over or under the cement board. Then use silicone to seal.

Edge thickness is about an inch. You attach this to the 16" studding, then install the cement board to the outer edge and treat the seam as a standard joint. So neither under or over but rather flush with the 1/2" cement board.

the 4 securing tabs are on rather long screws. My best estimate is that the screws are long enough to secure to the thickness of cement board and tile.

The instructions are pretty clear and tell you the size and distance that you are asking about. Basically if your finished deck is less than 2.5 inches thick (that is plywood, cement board not including tile) it is a 1.5 inch hole and you will decide the center from 8-16 inches (from one valve to the other). For decks thicker than 2.5 inches, they recommend a 2 inch hole. If you are cutting through ceramic or porcelain tile, I highly recommend buying a diamond carbide hole saw bit for your drill to make clean holes. Buy a normal hole saw to cut through your cement board and/or plywood to save the life of your diamond carbide hole saw.

We attached (with a sturdy screw) the ironing board onto another sturdy board that I stained to match our woodwork. We then were able to mount that board to the studs in the wall. It has worked out very well for us.that way.

The magnets are drawn to the nail heads that attach the drywall to the studs. Usually those are close to center on the stud. I've never had an issue missing a stud.

If not trying to cover a hugely uneven surface, or large gaps. it worked for me over cement board.

Go to the PacTool web site and it will tell you the maximum thickness. You do not want to force larger siding in it as damage and scraping will occur. It will also slow your job down if you have to pry and pull the Grecko off.

It is a wall anchor used to secure it to the if no stud is behind the sheetrock.

The edging is 5" tall. How deep you bury it is up to you depending on the effect you want to achieve above ground. I buried it a little over 2" below the ground since I was using it as a border between the grass and small stones. The bottom is shaped like an inverted "t" which is provides stability.

Not a flooring expert - however I can tell you no, this is not meant for cement. You can research this by searching for "wood flooring installation guidelines" put out by the people that make flooring. Wood products installed over cement require a true vapor barrier. A seal. This product is more of a membrane that allows moisture to pass through slowly. There is an expensive adhesive that forms a vapor barrier, and otherwise I think people use plastic.

That's true: it can't distigush between AC, wood or just metal. You have to aproximate/figure out the lay out of them. Other thsn that, it's prety precise finding the wood studs. Good luck! C-tin.

A support stud is 1.5 inches. You could always use a tiny finish nail and find out the exact nailing surface by poking a couple of exploratory holes into the sheetrock but then you're going to have holes to spackle. Once you decide where you want the top hole, you could always use a level to find the bottom hole.

If you have a stud finder, you can just tap into the 16 inch studs. Fits perfectly. You DO have to securely hit the studs though since this board is so heavy. You do not have to open the Sheetrock.We hit one stud using the stud finder and then used the Sheetrock screws for the other 5 holes. The board weighs about 20 pounds and this installation is very secure.

It depends on how wide the stud is. Best bet is to use a good stud finder to find the edges. I sometimes drill through the drywall with a small bit to find out. Some of the other answers my be more accurate than mine :)

Yes, they are the same thickness, but the edges vary. Some were finished with a beveled edge and some were straight. My installer didn't have an issue with it

The veneer is .030" thick including the adhesive. It is thick enough to lightly sand with care if desired (but not necessary). I had no problem with the installation and finishing of the wood, which perfectly matched the solid wood doors I constructed. FYI the wood is plain sawn - has the cathedral pattern. I would purchase it again without reservation.

Perfect, nearly every nail. Within 1/32"-1/16" when it was off to 1/8" occasionally. ***What's behind your new siding plays a big part in the performance. Installing over old siding will have a different performance than a new construction install. The old siding may have soft spots, flashing, brackets... who knows what behind it... these make a difference no matter what gun you use. We installed HardiePlank Lap Siding over old wood panel siding and had great performance.
