Typical Applications:
XPS tile backer board has a wide application in many places.
It could be a watertight layer on walls ,floors in houses or hotels. Especially there are some wet areas , such as bathroom, shower room etc.. Or some other places needs to be insulated and waterproofed.
1. Because it has good water-proof performance, many people like to use it as a watertight layer on walls and floors in wet rooms and bathrooms.
2. As everyone konws, XPS foam is a rigid foam with good thermal resistance, therefore it also could be an insulation layer under floor heating to avoid heat loss.
3. Because it has very good compressive strength, it can be used as partition walls in wood or steel frames.
4. Thanks to it light weight, strong ,waterproof and easy to install features, it is usually a substitute for gypsum board and fiber cement board.
5. In many countries, normally it apply to enclosures for bathtubs, water pipes, etc.
6. Because it is easy to cut as any different shapes, it is very easy and fast formed to be small shelves, washbasins, shower benches and soap boxes.
