Product Positioning

This product is specifically designed for hydronic underfloor heating systems after installation, providing an ideal substrate for tile installation.

Its primary function is not heat generation, but to serve as a high-performance structural tile backer system above water-based heating systems.

Core Functions:
  • Covers and protects hydronic heating pipe systems
  • Provides a high-strength tile installation base
  • Acts as a thermal insulation layer
  • Distributes structural loads and prevents cracking
  • Serves directly as a tile-ready load-bearing substrate

Product Structure
  • High-density XPS closed-cell insulation core
  • Reinforced surface with cementitious mortar + fiberglass mesh
  • Compatible with hydronic piping leveling systems (screed / leveling layer)
  • Designed for direct tile adhesive application

Installation System Overview

Step 1: Install XPS Backer Boards

  • Bond using tile adhesive or thin-bed mortar
  • Ensure full surface adhesion
  • Tight joint alignment between board

Step 2: Hydronic System Installation

  • Install PEX piping
  • Fix and pressure test the system
  • Cover with screed or leveling mortar if required

Step 3: Leveling Layer (Optional)

  • Apply thin leveling compound if needed
  • Or proceed directly to tile adhesive layer

Step 4: Tile Installation

  • Use flexible tile adhesive (C2TE / S1 grade recommended)
  • Install ceramic tiles or large-format slabs

Step 5: Grouting & System Completion

  • Apply grout
  • System ready for commissioning and use
