Magnesium Tile Backer Board for Walls and Floors

Gypsum and Plywood products are frequently used as a tiling substrate in showers and bathrooms where stud walls are common. Both these substrates are susceptible to deterioration upon contact with Moisture. This can result in loose & cracked tiles & appearance of mould.

Available board sizes:

6 x 2440 x 1200mm

12 x 1200 x 2400mm

Magnesium backer board is a water resistant backer board that will not swell, rot or degrade over time.

Many other tile backer boards are very difficult to score and snap and require up to 6 scores on each straight edge with a specialist cutting tool before the board can be snapped to size. Magnesium backer board is easily scored and snapped with a standard cutting blade resulting in fitting savings of time and money.
