ProWarm BACKER-PRO insulation boards offer superior waterproofing and heat insulation for underfloor heating and tile applications. These high-quality extruded polystyrene panels, reinforced with fiberglass mesh on both sides, complement our under tile heating cables and mats (not suitable for underwood systems).
Key Features:
Superior Waterproof Surface: Provides a durable, waterproof foundation for securely fixing wall or floor tiles, ensuring long-lasting performance and protection against moisture.
Outstanding Heat Insulation: With excellent thermal conductivity (0.033 W/mK), these boards enhance underfloor heating system efficiency, reducing heat-up time and minimizing running costs for optimal comfort and energy savings.
Wide Range of Thickness Options: Available in 6mm, 10mm, 12.5mm, 20mm, 30mm, and 50mm thicknesses, offering versatility to accommodate various installation requirements and insulation needs.
Approved by Tile Adhesive Manufacturer Instarmac -Ultra: Rigorously tested and approved by Instarmac -Ultra, ensuring compatibility and reliability.
Excellent Sound Insulation: Effectively reduces impact sound, creating a quieter and more comfortable environment.
Easy Installation: Can be easily cut with a knife, eliminating the need for complex tools like a jigsaw. Suitable for installation on both floors and walls.
Dimensional Stability: Waterproof and exhibits excellent dimensional stability, maintaining integrity and performance even in wet room environments.
Enhance your underfloor heating and tiling projects with ProWarm BACKER-PRO insulation boards. Their exceptional waterproofing, insulation properties, and ease of installation make them the ideal choice for creating a reliable and efficient heating system with a durable tile surface.
