Tile backer boards are waterproof, lightweight and versatile

The high-quality tile backer boards supplied by Composite Insulation offer superior performance designed to last. The waterproof insulation boards are made from extruded polystyrene, faced with a fibreglass mesh embedded into polymer mortar on each side. This gives extra strength and rigidity. Benefits include:

  • Moisture resistance: tile backer boards are waterproof and rot resistant making them perfect for rooms with lots of moisture such as bathrooms, kitchens and spa pool rooms.
  • Lightweight: boards are lightweight, easy to handle and easy to install, often only requiring adhesive. Boards are easy to cut to shape and can be supplied in pre-scored rolls for curves or L-shapes for covering pipes.
  • Insulation benefits: using boards on walls and floors can reduce heat loss and make the room more comfortable.
  • Multiple uses: bathroom backer boards can be used on floors or walls and thicker boards can also be used for platforms and areas such as shower trays.
  • Suitability for different surfaces: tile backer boards can be used on a number of surfaces including concrete and wood.

Applications

Waterproof insulation board has numerous applications in wet rooms and bathrooms

If you are planning a new build or bathroom renovation, you will find many applications for waterproof insulation boards.  

Baths, showers and vanities: tile backer board can be used on vanity units to prepare for tiling and around the surrounds of baths and showers, as well as for shower trays. Board offers a straight surface for tiling and can be used to enclose awkward spaces for a cleaner finish.

Pipe covering: use shaped tile backer board as an attractive alternative to plastic or wood pipe covering. The waterproof insulation board covers the pipes and you can then tile the area to match the rest of the bathroom.

Floors: lay on top of wooden or concrete floors to provide a clean and level waterproof insulation layer before laying floor tiles. Tile backer boards can also be used on top of concrete floors before laying underfloor heating to reduce the heat lost through the floor.

Walls:  tile backer board can be applied to concrete or brick walls using adhesive or to timber framing using a screw system. The board provides a good surface for wall tiles to be applied.
