Durarock vs. Hardieboard

While obtaining quotes for remodeling my bathroom, some contractors quote durarock while others quote hardieboard for the backing of the shower walls and the bathroom floor. Any strong reason to use one over the other? Thank you.

    There is no giant difference between Durarock and Hardiboard. Both are cementititous panel products. We use 1/4" Hardiboard on floors, set in a mortar bed (when we aren't using Schluetter as an isolation membrane). We use 1/2" Durarock on walls...when we aren't using a laid up mortar bed. Entirely different install for that...but flatter for a straighter lay for tile.

    I find Durock to be a better option when remodeling a tub surround, when existing drywall is left in place adjacent to the remodeled area. 1/2" Durock is a full half-inch thick and 1/2" Hardie is not., which causes a lip at the seams, requiring extra work to level out.

    There is a difference, if you're using it in high heat 'non-combustble" area, such as a fireplace tile surround, use Hardie as Durock is "non-combustible", but only rated for 200 degrees F.

    For other tile backer options, they are both good products.
