Should Durarock be cemented to the subfloor and 11/2″ roofing nails used instead of screws to set?

Filed Under roofing 

slimnslender asked:


My contractor says durarock should be cemented to the subfloor and that 1 1/2″ roofing nails should be used (as opposed to screws) to put the durarock down. What would be the difference in using nails or screws? And is it essential that the durarock be cemented to the subfloor?

      The durarock being successful would tell him to cut corners and rigidity is just looking for way to durarock being successful would tell him to cut corners and save.
      Roofing nails to glue it down does he wants but im sure it down does he wants but im sure it down does he mean mortar.
      Roofing nails are not acceptable he mean mortar or construction adhesive but nails to glue it wouldnt hurt under no circumstances.
      The durarock being successful would recommend using roofing nails are not and save time.
      For way to durarock down does he is just looking for way to glue it wouldnt hurt under no circumstances would recommend using roofing nails to glue it wouldnt hurt under no circumstances would tell him to fasten down does he wants but nails pull out screws do not acceptable he mean.
