Board Weights and Dimensions
Dimensions | Density (kg/m3) | Weight (kg) |
1200x600mmx10mm | 310 | 2.50 |
- Dimensional tolerances for standard boards: Thickness +/- 2mm, Width+/- 2mm, Length +/- 2mm
- The boards should be stored dry and flat. Slight bowing caused by incorrect storage or transport, for example, is not permanent and does not represent a technical defect. Slight curving can be rectified through storing the boards flat.
Thermal insulation values of the Tile Backer Board
Board thickness in mm | Net thickness xps in mm | R-value(m².K)/W | U-value W/m²xK | λd Rated value |
10 | 8 | 0.21 | 2.62 | 0.0378 |
- 1200x600x10mm STS Professional Tile Backing Boards offer thermal insulation that in most constructions satisfies the U-value requirements of different regions building regulations. The non-conductive surface reduces condensation by masking any cold bridging from the substrate beneath.
- The cementitious surface is resistant to heat and the chemicals within the sheathing around electric underfloor heating elements making it safe to use with these types of systems.
