Description
HardieBacker 250 Tile Backer Board 1200x800x6mm
HardieBacker Board is an engineered tile backer board made from 90% portland cement and sand. It provides an exceptionally robust, dimensionally stable and rigid surface for tiling onto, that can accommodate up to 200kg/m² of tile hanging weight.
Whereas traditional sheet materials such as plywood and plasterboard are liable to break or disintegrate when wet, HardieBacker Board features outstanding moisture resistance and stays strong and firm, no matter how damp or wet it gets, protecting your bathroom against moisture damage. It is also protected by a 10-year limited product warranty.
Each HardieBacker Board measures 1200 x 800mm and is available in either 6mm or 12mm thicknesses. 6mm HardieBacker Board is for overboarding timber floors or existing plaster/masonry walls, 12mm is for use on stud walls and fire surrounds.
HardieBacker Board is easy to cut. Simply score the board firmly using a straight edge as a guide then pull the board edge upwards to snap the board. HardieBacker Board is ready to tile once installed, and just requires wiping down with a damp sponge to remove any dust prior to tiling. If using the boards in a wetroom, the installation should be tanked with a suitable waterproofing membrane and tape system prior to tiling.
HardieBacker Boards are suitable for use with underfloor heating, and should always be placed between the structural timber floor and the heating element.
HardieBacker Board does not have to be finished with tiles. It can be painted, plastered, and even wallpapered.
