Marmox Tile Backer, Underfloor Heating Insulation and wet room solution boards
Marmox board is now available in 2400 x 1200 x 12.5mm sizes!
Marmox Tile Backer Boards are ideal for two primary purposes; as a superior waterproof surface to fix wall or floor tiles and as a first class heat insulation for underfloor heating systems. Marmox insulation boards are particularly suited to underfloor and under tile heating applications. Installation below Magnum enerCable, enerMat and enerFoil on an existing un-insulated concrete or timber sub-floor will greatly reduce heat up time and running costs.
Benefits of using Marmox boards:
* The installed price for Marmox tile backer boards is less than plywood.
* Marmox boards are fully waterproof and dimensionally stable (unlike plywood).
* Available in 12.5mm thickness for a flush fit with plasterboard.
* Lightweight; a 2400x1200x12.55mm Marmox board weighs less than 10Kg.
* Excellent sound insulation: impact sound is reduced by 25 decibels for Marmox boards.
* Cuts with a knife and only 15 fixings required for a Marmox 2400x1200x12.5mm board.
* Marmox boards are excellent for wet rooms.
* Marmox is designed to take the heaviest of tiles, unlike plasterboard and plaster.
* Excellent heat insulation with U values as low as 0.54 (50mm Marmox board) to 2.76 (10mm Marmox board). Marmox boards are ideal for use as a thermal barrier such as under tiled underfloor heating systems, reducing heat up time and lowering running costs.

Plaster, plywood, floorboards and many other surfaces are either unsuitable for fixing tiles too (plywood in particular is not a good surface to tile too) or have limited uses. Check the Wall preparation guide and floor preparation guide for more details.
