  • Mosaic tiles
Product Overview
  • XPS Tile Backer Board is a high-performance waterproof construction panel designed for tile installation and wet-area building systems.
  • The board features a closed-cell extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam core combined with cement-based coating reinforced with fiberglass mesh on both sides, creating a lightweight yet rigid panel that is fully waterproof and ready for tile installation.
  • This type of composite structure integrates waterproofing, thermal insulation, and tile support into one panel, making it widely used in modern bathroom construction and renovation.
  • Compared with traditional cement boards, XPS backer boards offer easier handling, faster installation, and improved thermal insulation performance.

Key Features
  • 100% Waterproof Core
    Closed-cell XPS foam structure prevents water absorption, swelling, and mold growth, making it ideal for wet environments.
  • Excellent Thermal Insulation
    XPS core provides high thermal insulation performance and helps reduce heat loss in building systems.
  • Lightweight & Easy Installation
    Much lighter than traditional cement boards. Easy to cut, drill, and shape using standard construction tools.
  • High Structural Strength
    Reinforced cement coating with embedded fiberglass mesh ensures rigidity and strong support for tile finishes.
  • Tile-Ready Surface
    Cementitious coating creates a stable and flat substrate for ceramic tile, porcelain tile, stone, and mosaic installation.
  • Durable & Long Service Life
    Resistant to moisture, mold, rot, and common construction chemicals.
  • Environmentally Friendly
    CFC-free XPS foam core and recyclable materials.

Applications
  • Bathrooms and shower enclosures

  • Wet rooms and spa areas

  • Kitchen backsplashes

  • Walls, floors, and ceilings

  • Under-tile insulation systems

  • Bathtub surrounds

  • Partition walls and interior construction

  • Residential and commercial renovation projects

These boards are widely used as a tile substrate in wet areas such as showers, bathrooms, and kitchens because they provide waterproof protection and structural support behind tiles.
