The professional-choice tile backer board for fast, reliable waterproof tiling in bathrooms, wet rooms, and shower areas.

Designed specifically for speed and performance, the AKW 10mm Tile Backer Board combines an ultra-lightweight extruded polystyrene (XPS) core with a tough, reinforced cement coating to deliver a strong, rigid, and fully waterproof surface ready for direct tiling.

Key Features & Benefits

• Quick & easy installation – Cuts easily with a standard handsaw or jigsaw, fixes with screws or adhesive, and tiles straight away. Get your bathroom back in use faster.
• Lightweight & easy to handle – At only a fraction of the weight of traditional cement boards, it’s simple for one person to carry and fit, reducing fatigue and installation time.
• Strong & robust – The cement-coated surface provides excellent rigidity and durability while the XPS core resists compression and impact.
• 100% waterproof – Forms a complete waterproof barrier behind the tiles, perfect for showers, wet rooms, and any high-moisture area.
• Superior insulation – High thermal resistance helps keep bathrooms warmer and reduces heat loss when dry-lining or over underfloor heating.
• Ready for tiling – The smooth cementitious coating gives outstanding adhesion for tile adhesive and grout – no additional priming or meshing required.
