Description
Thermopanel Tile Backer Boards are specifically designed for two primary purposes:
- As a first-class heat insulation layer for underfloor heating systems
- As a superior waterproof construction board for fixing wall or floor tiles
The dimensions of each board are 800mm x 600mm (0.48m²).
Key Features:
- Ideal for use with underfloor heating mats and under-tile heating cable applications
- Supports even the heaviest wall tiles (when installed correctly), unlike plasterboard
- Reduces heat-up time and running costs when placed under heating systems on uninsulated concrete or timber subfloors
- Improves heating efficiency and helps reduce electricity bills
- Excellent thermal insulation – thermal conductivity of 0.027 W/mK
- Ideal for wetrooms
- Waterproof and dimensionally stable (unlike plywood)
- Excellent sound insulation – significantly reduces impact noise
Installation:
Concrete Base Floor:
Apply flexible tile adhesive using a floor trowel to fully cover the area. Lay the Thermopanel boards into the adhesive and press firmly. Seal all joints with Joint Tape.
Floorboards / Wood Base Floor:
Either use the adhesive method described above or screw the boards down using MSW36 steel washers and screws every 300mm. Seal the joints with Joint Tape.
