You don t want cement board for a couple reasons. One is the expense. Two it isn t the right ting to do at all. Hardibacker is what you d use but that is expensive to use also ( more than luan) Roughly 10/11$ a 3x5 sheet ( 15s/f) as apposed to 18$ a sheet for luan( 4x8 sheet and 32 s/f. You don t have to thin set either down , just nail. If you can borrow or rent a special wood stapler to do the luan with , in a few years it will come up fairly easy and you can then do the flooring of your choice GL If your on a budget but need a smooth floor 1/4″ luan is the way to go.
