Description JACKOBOARD Plano Tile Backer Board is a water-repellent construction board made from extruded polystyrene foam, finished on both sides with a special cement-based coating that is fibre reinforced. This cement coating is ready to be tiled, rendered or plastered once installed. It features excellent thermal insulation properties that makes it ideal for use in applications that require effective thermal insulation, such as underneath underfloor heating systems. Using JACKOBOARD Plano Tile Backer Board beneath underfloor heating systems has several benefits, the main ones being a reduction in heat-up times and reduced heat loss. JACKOBOARD Plano Tile Backer Board is perfectly suited for use in interior construction and furnishings – especially in rooms subject to high moisture levels. It can be installed on virtually any substrate and has a high compressive strength value of > 300 kPa, making it suitable for use on both floor and wall applications. JACKOBOARD Plano Tile Backer Board provides a completely waterproof substrate for tiling that will not allow moisture to penetrate the fabric of the building assuming that the joints between the boards have been appropriately treated. The specially developed reinforced cement coating produces an extremely strong bond when used in conjunction with cement based single part flexible tile adhesive. *Please note: Orders for small quantities of tile backer boards are usually packed into (large) parcels and dispatched via courier. We take great care in packaging them as well as possible to prevent damage to the edges and corners, however despite our best efforts occasionally they may arrive with small dents and marks that have been inflicted on the edges as they have been processed through the courier network. These marks are purely cosmetic and will have no effect on the integrity and performance of the board. If the carriage charge for the XXL boards seems extortionate please call us, we might be able to offer a more cost effective solution. JACKOBOARD Plano Tile Backer Board is available in the following board sizes (Height x Width x Thickness): 1200 x 600 x 4mm 1200 x 600 x 6mm 1200 x 600 x 10mm 1200 x 600 x 12mm 1200 x 600 x 20mm 1200 x 600 x 30mm 1200 x 600 x 40mm 1200 x 600 x 50mm 2400 x 600 x 10mm 2400 x 600 x 12mm 2400 x 600 x 20mm 2400 x 600 x 30mm 2400 x 600 x 40mm 2400 x 600 x 50mm 2600 x 900 x 12.5mm 2400 x 1200 x 12.5mm JACKOBOARD Plano Tile Backer Board is very easy to work with, weighing between 3-6kg per m² whilst retaining excellent dimensional stability.

When fixing JACKOBOARD Plano Tile Backer Board we recommend using JACKOBOARD Board Fix Adhesive to glue boards together or onto a substrate. For fixing boards to timber studwork and other wooden substrates we recommend using JACKOBOARD Fixing Washers with screws. For fixing boards to solid walls such as brick/masonry or concrete, we recommend using JACKOBOARD Metal Disc Plugs in conjunction with tile adhesive for a secure mechanical fixing. Use the JACKOBOARD Glass Fibre Scrim Tape to reinforce abutting joints between boards and to repair any holes/cracks prior to tiling. Tile Backer Board Sealing Tape is recommended for waterproof sealing of the joints in wet areas such as showers and baths. The JACKOBOARD Waterproof Sealing Kit is also available – this contains all you need to waterproof an average shower area installation of JACKOBOARD Plano Tile Backer Board Panels and/or shower tray – primer, waterproofing membrane, sealing tape and corners.
