Tile failure is extremely costly in all instances. Not only are there replacement costs of the materials, but for many commercial and leisure installations, tile failure may necessitate closing part of the premises.

Should moisture get onto the substrate, it may cause the tiles to fail. With today’s building techniques and the emphasis on dry construction it is of the utmost importance to provide a stable, moisture resistant backing board in wet or humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Aquapanel is a glass reinforced cement board, designed to be used as a high performance tile backing board. It combines all the benefits of drywall construction with the confidence of a cement rendered background. This tough, impact resistant tile backing board can be fully immersed in water and will regain full strength when dry.
