Types of Waterproof Backer Board
Cement Backer Board: Is probably the most commonly used backer board for use in ceramic and porcelain tile installations. Constructed primarily of cement and reinforced with fiberglass, this type of board is waterproof and so is mostly used for tiled shower surrounds and enclosures, wetrooms and floors in areas exposed to direct water.
Fiber Cement Board: Fiber cement board (also called fiber board), is constructed from Portland cement mixed with sand and cellulose fibers. Fiber board is recommended for floor tiles installations as the make-up of the board helps adhesives to bond with the board itself. Fiber cement board is most commonly available in 1200×800 sized sheets and in 12mm and 6mm variants.
Polystyrene-Based Insulation Board: This type of board is not strictly a backer board, although it is designed to be tiled directly onto and is lightweight yet sturdy. The main selling point of this type of board however is their heat conducting and waterproofing properties – they're ideal for use with underfloor heating and are often the choice for wetrooms and commercial applications such as pools, spas and steam rooms.
Glass Reinforced Cement Sheets (Mat Gypsum Board): This type of backer board is constructed from water-resistant gypsum that has been treated with silicone and reinforced with fiberglass mats on the surface of each side. This type of backer board is lighter than cement board and is intended for use in areas that are susceptible to being exposed to water.
Water-Resistant Drywall: Another that is not considered backer board, water-resistant drywall can still be tiled on directly and is acceptable for use in areas where occasional splashes may occur but which are otherwise dry. Water-resistant drywall is less expensive than cement or gypsum backer board, but it can be easily damaged by water ingress and so shouldn't be used in areas that are subjected to direct water over a long period of time.
Application of Waterproof Backer Board
Residential Construction
Homeowners and builders use tile backer boards in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. They provide a reliable base for showers and tub surrounds, preventing water damage and mold growth. The result is a durable, attractive finish that lasts for decades.
Commercial Projects
Hotels, restaurants, and retail spaces rely on tile backer boards for high-traffic areas. These boards support large-format tiles and heavy-duty applications, ensuring safety and longevity. For example, a hotel lobby with extensive tiled flooring benefits from the moisture resistance and load-bearing capacity of advanced backer boards.
Outdoor Installations
Patios, outdoor kitchens, and facades utilize specialized waterproof backer boards to withstand weather elements. These boards enable outdoor tiling that remains intact despite exposure to rain, sun, and temperature fluctuations.
Industrial Applications
Factories and warehouses with tiled flooring or walls use heavy-duty backer boards to support equipment and withstand harsh conditions. Their durability minimizes maintenance and replacement costs.
Install of Waterproof Backer Board
1. Plan and cut the foam backer board sheets as described for the cement board.
2. Apply tile adhesive to the subfloor or wall using a notched trowel. Spread enough adhesive for one sheet at a time and create parallel ridges with the notched side of the trowel.
3. Place the foam backer board sheet over the adhesive while it is still wet. Press it firmly and evenly into the adhesive. Leave a 1/8-inch gap between the sheets and around the perimeter of the room.
4. Fasten the foam backer board to the subfloor or wall using cement board screws and washers. Use a drill with a carbide bit to make pilot holes every 12 inches along the edges and every 16 inches in the field of the sheet. Insert the screws through the washers and into the foam backer board until they are flush with the surface.
5. Apply sealant to the gaps between the sheets and around the perimeter of the room. Smooth out any excess sealant with a wet finger or a sponge.
6. Cover the joints between the sheets with fibreglass mesh tape. Press the tape into the sealant while it is still wet.
7. Apply tile adhesive over the foam backer board using a notched trowel as described for the cement board.
8. Install and grout the tiles as described for the cement board.
