What's in the Tile Backer Board Floor Fixing Installation Bundle?
Orbry Waterproof Tile Backer Board
Orbry Tile Backer Boards ideal for waterproofing walls & floors, providing thermal insulation, dry lining and tile backing. When used in bathrooms you get a tile backer board, waterproofing, and insulation all in one! Orbry boards can also used as insulation boards and are the easiest solution for insulating and waterproofing a room in one quick & easy install.
Orbry Boards are insulated backer boards that are reinforced with glass fibre. The top coat on both sides of the Orbry Board is made of polymer-modified cement. Orbry boards provide a solid, waterproof layer to tile and are a cost effective way of insulating internal solid walls and creating a moisture barrier. They also create a fast track, insulated, low weight & height floor tiling system without screeds. Orbry boards absorb lateral movement and stop your tiles cracking over time.
We routinely see Orbry Boards used as waterproof backer boards, electric underfloor heating insulation and wet room construction.
Plastic Tile Backer Board Washers
The Orbry Tile Backer Board Washers are used to fix tile backer boards to stud walls and wooden floors. In order to properly fix the boards to the background substrate, use these washers with Orbry Stainless Steel Screws.
These plastic washers have been specially formulated to reduce pitting in the tile backer board surface when force is applied. They are also resistant to screw pull through for complete peace of mind, whilst the ultra low profile helps to prevent any lipping.
Note: 15 tile backer board washers & screws are required per tile backer board. They come in packs of 50 or 500.
Stainless Steel Tile Backer Board Screws
