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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Versatility:
- Can be cut and shaped easily to fit various installation requirements.
- Compatible with different types of tile adhesives and finishes.
