How can i improve my preparation - Tile Advice

Dont forget to weigh it down to keep it submerged. Its floatier than a floaty float on a float ride!

I took care of it

That was the cheapest tile backer board I had in my garage. Unbranded stuff bought locally.

I notice that some Foam boards have a shiny surface to the cement coating. As though it’s been sealed. I’m wondering if this is to do with the potential for it to break down.

Can you get some more drinking vessels on your dashboard please, that glass tumbler looks lonely

The shiney coating is where the board has been pre-primed. In my experience it is a very thin mist coat as when I have gone to prime them it soaks in like its almost not there. The primer I roller on beads up on the first & second pass but then soaks in!

Definitely in need of a clear out. Coming to the end of my job so I’ve let things slip.....a bit. You know how it is, coffee gets me through the day.

Good morning all,

Schlüter-KERDI-BOARD is waterproof inside and out , unlike most other tile backerboards. It has been extensively tested and , as stated on the datasheet, "has the required European Technical Assessment (ETA) as specified in ETAG 022 (bonded waterproofing assemblies) and bears CE marking. Moisture exposure class according to ETAG 022: A and C".

If you have any further questions about KERDI-BOARD or indeed any of our other products, please contact our technical team on 01530 813396 or email [email protected].

Thank you

Hi SSLtd

This is what I’m saying about your competitors boards- Hardiebacker and Aquapanel. As they allow water to pass through them, they don’t meet ETAG 022

I’ll do some digging to see if the other foam boards meet the spec. I’m sure they do by their very nature.

Well Andrew?

Sorry, busy day today, uncoated foam XPS board. Available in large sizes and 20mm thick.

Don't mind me while I bump up some older but good threads. If you can contribute to the thread, go ahead. But if it's nothing for you then don't reply and it'll soon drop off the What's New page etc.
