Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness of XPS insulation board should I use for my roof?
For roofing applications, a 100mm XPS insulation board is typically recommended due to its high thermal resistance and durability.
Can I use a 6mm tile backer board for flooring?
While 6mm tile backer boards are generally used for walls, a 12mm backer board is more suitable for floor applications to ensure adequate support and stability.
What are the benefits of using XPS foam insulation boards?
XPS foam insulation boards provide excellent moisture resistance, high compressive strength, and superior thermal performance, making them ideal for various construction applications.
How do tile backer boards improve tiling projects?
Tile backer boards create a solid, waterproof base for tiles, preventing moisture damage and ensuring a long-lasting, professional finish.
Are there specific tile backer boards for electric heating systems?
Yes, certain tile backer boards are designed to work efficiently with electric heating systems, providing even heat distribution and energy efficiency.
What is the difference between a foam tile backer board and an insulated tile backer board?
Foam tile backer boards are lightweight and easy to install, offering basic insulation. Insulated tile backer boards provide enhanced thermal properties and are better suited for areas requiring additional insulation.
