Aquapanel Thermal is a Lightweight insulated tile backing board (600mm x1200 x 10mm ) developed specifically for use with tiles floors. It consists of a Polyfoam core with glass fibre reinforced polymer-modified cement faces.
Aquapanel Thermal is dimensionally stable, doesn't rot or warp and provides excellent resistance to moisture. It also offers the additional benefit of a high level of thermal insulation, making it the ideal substrate for floor tiling and Devimat Systems.
Aquapanel Thermal is extremely light (2.6kg/m2 ). It's easy to cut (using fine tooth saw, jigsaw or Stanley knife, for example) and to work with. As Aquapanel Thermal has cement-based faces you should wear a nose and mouth mask when cutting to prevent particle inhalation.
Aquapanel Thermal is suitable for both domestic and commercial use. It is specifically designed to provide a high level of thermal insulation, while minimising the risks caused by water and condensation, in kitchens, bathrooms, shower rooms and cubicles, swimming areas, conservatories and in any other area which is subject to high levels of humidity.
Floors in all these particular areas often get wet. On suspended timber floors this will eventually lead to tiles lifting as the grout and adhesive breaks down and water gets through to the timber sub floor causing it to swell and warp. Using Aquapanel Thermal will eliminate many of the problems associated with damp penetration, especially on suspended timber floors, whilst also providing insulation against heat loss.
On solid concrete floors the benefit comes from preventing heat loss downward to the sub floor.
Advantages of Aquapanel Thermal over traditional substrates include: full resistance to moisture absorption and subsequent breakdown; lightweight and easy to handle; a dry process thus eliminating unnecessary delays associated with floor screeds; no need for special tools, saving you time and money; keyed surface ready to receive tile adhesive; and vermin and rotproof.
