A tile backer board is a material used as a substrate for tile installations, providing a stable and waterproof surface. Typically made from cementitious or foam-core materials, it reinforces walls or floors to support the weight of tiles. Backer boards are resistant to moisture, preventing water damage and mold growth behind tiles. They also offer thermal insulation and soundproofing properties. Common types include cement backer board, which is durable and suitable for wet areas, and foam-core backer board, which is lightweight and easy to install. Backer boards come in various thicknesses and sizes to accommodate different tile sizes and installation requirements. Overall, they serve as a critical component in ensuring the longevity and performance of tiled surfaces in bathrooms, kitchens, and other wet areas.
