Baseboard Insulated Waterproof Tile Backer Panel (1200mm x 600mm)

Create a flawless, high-performance foundation for your next tiling project with Baseboard Insulated Waterproof Tile Backer Panels. Engineered as the ultimate structural substrate for demanding wet environments, these premium construction boards provide a perfectly flat, dimensionally stable, and completely moisture-impervious surface. They are the professional standard for preparing walls and floors in showers, wet rooms, bathrooms, steam rooms, and swimming pools prior to laying ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, or mosaic tiles.

Each panel measures 1200mm in length by 600mm in width and is available in three versatile thicknesses (6mm, 10mm, and 12mm) to suit different structural demands. The core of the board is constructed from highly insulating extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam that is completely impervious to water ingress and rot. This advanced core is encapsulated on both sides by a high-strength, cement-polymer coating reinforced with a heavy-duty fiberglass mesh. This tough exterior layer provides exceptional shear bond strength, allowing heavy tiles to adhere firmly without the risk of decoupling or bowing over time.

Thanks to their lightweight design, Baseboard panels add no significant load to your property's framing, making them incredibly easy to lift, manoeuver, and cut to shape using a simple utility knife or hand saw. They can be mechanically fastened over timber or metal stud work, or securely adhered to unstable, uneven brickwork and screeded floors. Furthermore, their high thermal insulation properties make them the ideal underlayment for electric underfloor heating systems, preventing expensive heat from escaping downward and forcing it upward into the room for faster warm-up times.

Why Choose Section:

• 100% waterproof construction is completely impervious to moisture, preventing rot, mould, and structural water damage in wet zones.

• Cement-coated surface reinforced with fiberglass mesh delivers an ultra-rigid, high-adhesion substrate that supports heavy tile loads.

• Exceptional thermal insulation properties maximize the energy efficiency of underfloor heating systems by preventing downward heat loss.

• Lightweight and highly workable design makes panels fast to cut with a utility knife and easy to mount on walls or floors, reducing site labour.

• Highly versatile installation allows boards to be fixed directly to timber/metal studs or bedded over uneven existing concrete and wood floors.

• Fully compatible with the Aquatank tanking kit system to create a seamless, globally certified wet room envelope.
