Tile Backer Boards
ECOPA guides & advice
Install backer boards provide a waterproof base for placing tiles in your wet room. Working to prevent water from reaching the surfaces beneath the boards, tile backer boards allow you to build a totally waterproof installation, keeping your wet room clean and dry with ease. Installing tile backer boards is extremely simple and can be installed multiple ways, suiting a variety of different applications.
How to Install Tile Backer Boards on Timber Stud Walls
For Timber Stud Walls you can use 10 or 12mm Thermopanel Tile Backer Boards for studs at 300mm centres, or you can use 20mm Thermopanel Tile Backer Boards if the studs are at 600mm centres. Please ensure that all board edges are supported.
You can fix Thermopanel Tile Backer Boards to the studs using suitable screws and Thermopanel MSW36 Washers, which are made from stainless steel to prevent corrosion. The maximum spacing between fixings should be 300mm.
Following Guide Info ,there are 3 opitions for selection
Screw fixing
Tile Adhesive
Drywall Fixing
How to Install Tile Backer Boards on Solid WallsOption 1: Screw Fixing Measure the Thermopanel Tile Backer Boards and cut them to size utilising a sharp knife or saw. Wall plugs, screws and Thermopanel MSW36 Washers can be used at 300mm spacing to fix Tile Backer Boards to a solid wall.
ption 2: Tile Adhesive A 5 to 8mm trowel is used to comb flexible tile adhesive over the whole surface of the Thermopanel Tile Backer Board. Stagger the Thermopanel Tile Backer Boards in a brickwork fashion, pushing them firmly onto the wall.
Option 3: Drywall Fixing Apply Thermopanel Drywall Foam to the Thermopanel Tile Backer Board, firstly around the perimeter and then at approximately 300mm centres. For easy installation, lay the board flat with its end against the wall. Fix the Thermopanel Tile Backer Board to the studs using screws and Thermopanel MSW36 Washers. The maximum spacing between fixings should be 300mm. Allow the foam to cure for 4 to 5 minutes and then lever the board into position. Press firmly across the whole face of the board, starting at the top. Ensure the top and all edges receive as much pressure as the rest of the board.
