Tile Backer Board

What are the Advantages of Tile Backer Board?

Tile backer boards are ideal for waterproofing wet rooms, as insulation boards with underfloor heating systems and as dry lining and house insulation. All of the boards are lightweight, easy to install and extremely strong. They provide a stable background for any type of tile, plus you can plaster directly to them after using a suitable primer. More advantages of using tile backer boards:

• Completely Waterproof: Its water impermeability makes the tile backer board perfect for shower installations and wet rooms. The boards are made from rigid extruded polystyrene with a bonded cementitous coating to both sides so you don’t ever have to worry about rotting, deformation or weakening.
• Compatibility: Tile backer board is compatible with slate, marble, and stone tiles as well as underfloor heating. It can also be used for insulation and dry lining for solid walls in other rooms in your house.
• Weight Bearing and Adherence: Correctly fixed tile backer boards are able to hold substantially more weight than other traditional wall surfaces. Tile backer boards can hold over twice the weight of plaster, up to 60 Kg, which is great for tiling jobs using large format or heavy tiles.

So whether you are working with small or large tiles, on walls or floors, tile backer boards are a great way to create a perfect tile covering.
