Tile Backer Boards Cement Coated Insulation Boards 1200mm x 600mm (0.72m2) – 4mm to 60mm Thicknesses Available

Tile backer boards are a state of the art product, which prevents heat loss into your sub-floor. Ideal for use with under tile heating systems. In addition they are recommended by leading underfloor heating manufacturers.

They can be used for fixing over chipboard floors (both with & without underfloor heating), offering a waterproof & stable surface on which to lay tiles.

In conclusion, using an insulation board will improve the performance of electric underfloor heating, even if you have insulation below the concrete screed.

Technical information:

The boards are made from a waterproof extruded polystyrene.

On each face the boards have a fibreglass mesh & a rigid cement coating.

This gives it superior qualities to most other boards on the market.

Available in several thicknesses:- from 4 to 60mm

In a conservatory which is to have underfloor heating and to be tiled. We strongly recommend the use of insulated tile-backer boards. If you are still in the planning stage, we recommend that you ask your conservatory supplier/installer to leave the base slightly lower than normal. You can then accommodate the tile-backer board. The boards are supplied in thicknesses ranging from 4mm – 60mm depending on your requirement.

The use of insulated tile-backer boards will reduce warm-up times & reduce running costs in all cases. Similarly they are especially recommended if installing under-tile heating on an un-insulated floor.

The boards can be fitted directly over floorboards, chipboard, plywood using galvanised screws. They can also be fitted over existing concrete floors with ordinary floor tile adhesive.

The boards are 0.72m² and are available in thicknesses of 4-60 mm.

6mm Depron Foam XPS Insulation Sheets – 10m2 (20 Sheet Pack)

Depron Foam Sheets. Designed for Underfloor heating but used by modellers

Depron is a highly efficient extruded polystyrene insulation material suitable for use below wood, laminate or even carpets.

Also perfect for the Model maker, looking for a lightweight strong material that is easy to work with and inexpensive. See notes below for tec info.

Depron is a millimetre thin insulation sheet manufactured of fully recycled material, free from Freon and Halogen. The sheet is produced of foamed polystyrene, a material that does not age. The cell structure in the sheet is built up of fine, closed cells that give Depron its excellent physical and mechanical characteristics.

An insulation capacity that saves energy.

The special cell structure means that the sheet does not conduct heat. Laying Depron on the floor means that heat will instead, be effectively reflected back towards the floor surface. As “waste heat” is taken care of, you utilise energy in an effective manner and thereby lower your energy consumption.
