Cement Tile Backer Board – Moisture Resistant – Wet Areas

Product Overview

This 12mm cement-based tile backer board, measuring 1200mm in length and 800mm in width, is designed for use on walls and vertical surfaces in wet or high-moisture areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Manufactured with innovative technology to resist water and mold, it offers a durable alternative to traditional plasterboard and gypsum-based wall linings. With high compressive strength, it ensures tiles remain secure under loads up to 100kg/m², making it ideal for vertical applications.

Features & Benefits

• MouldBlock Technology: Prevents water absorption and mold growth, maintaining long-term board integrity.
• High Compressive Strength: Up to three times stronger than competitive boards, providing a solid foundation for heavy tiles.
• Superior Adhesion Surface: Ensures secure bond strength with tile adhesives for finishes up to 200 kg/m².
• EZ Grid Recessed Fastener Pattern: Simplifies screw alignment and speeds up installation.
• Clean Cutting Properties: Easily scored and snapped with a knife for accurate, dust-minimized cuts.
• Non-Paper, Non-Mesh Composition: Eliminates risk of delamination or edge breakdown in humid environments.
• Thermal Suitability: Compatible with underfloor heating systems and provides stable insulation performance.

Applications

• Bathroom and Wet Room Floors: Provides a moisture-resistant substrate for ceramic or stone tiles.
• Kitchen Flooring: Prevents tile cracking over timber subfloors by reducing deflection.
• Countertops and Work Surfaces: Offers a stable, water-impervious surface for tiled finishes.
• Masonry Walls: Serves as a durable lining board where high humidity or direct water contact occurs.

Installation Guidance

• Floor Preparation: Ensure substrate is level, clean, and free from debris before fitting.
• Fixing to Timber Floors: Use insulation fixing washers and corrosion-resistant screws to secure the board.
• Fixing to Concrete Floors: Apply flexible tile adhesive to a primed surface for full contact bonding.
• Cutting and Shaping: Score and snap using a utility knife for precise cuts.
