FAQs

What is a tile backer board?

A tile backer board is a waterproof, moisture-resistant panel that’s used as a base for tiling. They’re perfect for walls and floors in wet areas like bathrooms or wet rooms. It provides a smooth, solid foundation to attach your tiles to, providing a consistent surface that won’t warp or degrade over time.

What is a tile backer board made of?

Tile backer board is usually made from a mix of cement, fibreglass, and other materials that make it strong, lightweight, and water-resistant. This helps it handle being installed in rooms with high moisture levels without degrading, making it ideal for use in showers and wet rooms.

What thickness of backer board do you need for floor tiles?

If you’re installing floor tiles, a backer board that’s 6mm to 12mm thick is usually ideal. It offers the right balance of strength and support for your tiles while still being easy to install. Thicker boards are often used for areas with extra moisture exposure or heavier tiles.

What thickness of tile backer board do you need for walls?

For wall tiles, 6mm-thick backer boards are typically recommended. This is because they’re lightweight and easy to install, but still strong enough to support your tiles, even in high-moisture areas like shower walls or wet rooms.

However, if you're installing large or heavy tiles, a thicker board (around 9mm to 12mm) might be more suitable.
