XPS Tile Foam Backer Boards are a type of building material used primarily in the construction of tiled surfaces, especially in areas prone to moisture such as bathrooms, kitchens, and wet rooms. These boards serve as a substrate for tile installation, providing a stable and water-resistant base. Here are some key features and benefits of XPS Tile Foam Backer Boards:

Key Features:

1. Material Composition:
   • Made from extruded polystyrene (XPS-100%), which is a closed-cell foam.
   • This material is lightweight yet durable, making it easy to handle and install.
2. Waterproof:
   • XPS foam boards are inherently waterproof, preventing water from penetrating and causing damage to the underlying structures.
   • Ideal for wet areas where moisture resistance is crucial.
3. Thermal Insulation:
   • Provides excellent thermal insulation properties, helping to improve the energy efficiency of the building.
   • Reduces heat loss, making them suitable for use with underfloor heating systems.
4. Load Bearing Capacity: 500k/Pa(50tonnes/m2)
   • Designed to support the weight of tiles and other coverings, ensuring a secure and stable tiling surface.
   • Suitable for use on walls, floors, and countertops.
5. Versatility:
   • Can be cut and shaped easily to fit various installation requirements.
   • Compatible with different types of tile adhesives and finishes.
