Product Description
Made of high-performance extruded polystyrene (XPS) with an outer layer of modified polymer mortar. TWES XPS Tile Backer Boards are reinforced on both sides with an alkali fibreglass mesh, embedded into the modified polymer mortar. The extruded polystyrene (XPS) inner core of the boards has excellent thermal insulation properties.
Tile backer boards are substrate materials designed for tiling. Unlike plywood which will warp when exposed to water, backer boards will maintain a hard flat surface that won't buckle or shift over time. This stability allows you to tile with a thinset mortar and get a level and reliable tile surface that can withstand water and temperature changes.
XPS boards are a fantastic choice if you're looking to enhance the energy efficiency of your space. These boards not only provide the stability and moisture resistance needed for tile installations but also offer insulation benefits.
Here's why they are worth considering: Energy Efficiency:
1.Floor insulation boards help keep your space warm in the winter and cool in the summer, potentially reducing your energy bills.
2.Easy Installation: They are typically easy to install and can be used on various subfloor types.
3.Moisture Resistance: Many floor insulation boards also come with moisture-resistant properties, ensuring your subfloor stays dry.
