Product Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\n
    \n
  • The XPS Tile Backer Board is a lightweight, waterproof, and thermally insulating construction panel designed for tile installation and wet-area building systems.<\/li>\n
  • It features a closed-cell extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam core, providing excellent insulation performance and zero water absorption. The board is reinforced on both sides with a cementitious coating embedded with fiberglass mesh, ensuring high strength, rigidity, and reliable adhesion for tiles and finishes.<\/li>\n
  • This panel is an ideal alternative to traditional cement boards , offering easier handling, faster installation, and long-term durability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
