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 to fix wall or floor tiles
Each board measures 1250mm x 600mm (0.75m²).
How to Work Out How Many Boards You Need:
To calculate the number of boards required, divide your room size in m² by 0.75.
Example: 5m² ÷ 0.75 = 6.66 → round up to 7 boards.
Key Features:
- Ideal for underfloor heating mats and under-tile heating cable applications
- Supports even the heaviest wall tiles (when installed correctly)
- Reduces heat-up time and running costs when installed over uninsulated subfloors
- Improves heating efficiency and lowers electricity bills
- Excellent heat insulation with a thermal conductivity of 0.027 W/mK
- Perfect for wetrooms
- Waterproof and dimensionally stable (unlike plywood)
- Provides excellent sound insulation by reducing impact noise
Installation:
Concrete Base Floor:
Use a floor trowel to apply flexible tile adhesive across the area. Lay the Thermopanel boards into the adhesive and press firmly. Seal joints with Joint Tape.
Floorboards / Wood Base Floor:
Option 1: Use the same method as for concrete floors.
Option 2: Screw down the boards using MSW36 steel washers and screws every 300mm (approx. 15 fixings per board). Seal all joints with Joint Tape.
