Using Tile Backer Boards in Wet Rooms

Using Tile Backer Boards in Wet Rooms

Tile backer boards are insulating boards that are ideal for use in wetrooms, rooms equipped with underfloor heating systems, and in rooms where an additional stable background is needed for tiling. Tile backer boards possess waterproof and heat and sound insulating qualities. The boards come in a variety of shapes and sized depending on your specific requirements. At Tile Fix Direct, we stock various different styles of tile backer boards including curved tile backer boards, angled tile backer boards, short boards, long boards, and a range of accessories that complement the boards.

Tile Backer Boards Used in the Construction of a Wetroom

One of the main uses for tile backer boards is during the installation of a wetroom. Wetrooms are fully tanked, or waterproof, rooms with a level-access shower. These types of rooms will typically have the drain inset into the floor, replacing the conventional plastic shower tray. With no shower trays, wetrooms can be designed with more scope and provide a great opportunity to be creative with colours, layouts, and style.

Installing Strong, Durable, and Effective Tile Backer Boards is Essential for a Wet Room

There are many benefits of having a wetroom installed in your home with quality tile backer boards. When properly fixed, the tile backer boards ensure that the entire wet room is waterproof protecting any background from water leakages and residue. Without the use of a tile backer board, your wetroom could potentially fall victim to water damage and thousands of pounds worth of repairs.

Tile backer and insulation boards are lightweight, yet strong enough to withstand the weight of heavy tiles. Leakage and other limitations caused from poor quality boards can be disastrous.
