Tile backing with an XPS insulation core
This insulated backer board combines an XPS foam core with fiberglass and cement-based surfaces. Discuss it for tiled wall and floor assemblies where the backing construction and insulation layer are specified together.
Confirm the board thickness, size and supporting substrate before selection. The complete build-up determines application suitability; this coated board should not be treated as an interchangeable replacement for every mineral board or uncoated insulation sheet.

Request current configuration-specific data and test conditions. The published material values do not establish the load capacity, energy savings or waterproofing performance of a complete wall or floor.
Confirm the assembly requirements
- Insulation layer: required thickness and position within the floor or wall build-up.
- Backing support: substrate preparation, framing where applicable, fixings and bonding method.
- Tiled surface: compatible adhesive, tile loading and surface preparation.
- Wet-area use: joints, corners, penetrations and connections to the specified sealing system.
- Special features: drawings and supports for enclosures, benches or other constructed details.
Follow the matched installation guidance. The board alone does not make the assembly watertight, and compatibility with heating systems must be confirmed for the proposed construction.
Ordering Insulated Boards for Tiled Walls and Floors
Send the required finished build-up height, supporting substrate and board thickness alongside the sheet sizes and quantities. Where the project specifies a thermal target, request the proposed board data and confirm the contribution within the complete assembly. Keep board thickness, coating construction and the required fixing or bonding method together on the purchase schedule.
Request an insulated backer-board quotation with the schedule and delivery destination. Agree the sample and pack details using the board procurement checklist. For a pipe-channel layout, review the grooved backer-board option, or compare the full tile backer board range.
Discuss supply
Send the application, board dimensions, thickness, quantity and delivery destination, together with any required performance reports, packaging or private-label details.
