Matting & Backer Boards

Matting and backer boards are essential components in any tiling project, providing a stable and durable foundation for tile installation. At Tiles Ahead, we offer a comprehensive selection of matting and backer boards designed to meet the needs of both residential and commercial projects. Our products ensure that your tile work is not only beautiful but also long-lasting and functional.

Function and Durability: Matting and backer boards serve multiple functional purposes. They provide excellent waterproofing properties, making them ideal for areas exposed to moisture such as bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces. Additionally, they help in crack isolation, which prevents the transmission of cracks from the substrate to the tiles, thereby enhancing the durability of your tile installation.

Versatility: Our range includes various types of matting and backer boards to suit different applications and preferences. Whether you need a lightweight option for wall tiling or a sturdy choice for floors that will bear significant weight, we have the right solution for you. These products are compatible with a wide range of tile types including ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone.

Ease of Installation: Designed for convenience, our matting and backer boards are easy to cut and install, making them suitable for DIY enthusiasts as well as professional tilers. Their installation provides a smooth and level surface, which is crucial for achieving a flawless tile finish.

Energy Efficiency: Some of our backer boards also offer thermal insulation properties, which can enhance the energy efficiency of your space by minimizing heat loss. This feature is particularly beneficial in rooms with underfloor heating systems, as it ensures that the heat is directed upwards into the room rather than being absorbed by the subfloor.

Quality and Compliance: At Tiles Ahead, we source our matting and backer boards from reputable manufacturers who use high-quality materials and adhere to stringent industry standards. This commitment to quality ensures that our products are reliable and meet all necessary building regulations and standards.
