BGC Ceramic Tile Floor Underlay 1800mm x 1200mm x 6mm Fibre Cement Sheet
BGC Ceramic Tile Floor Underlay
BGC Ceramic Tile Floor Underlay is a specially formulated fibre cement sheet designed to provide a stable substrate for slate and ceramic floor tiles. It can be installed over new or existing timber floorboards, plywood or particleboard flooring.
In dry areas, tiling may be applied directly to the Ceramic Tile Floor Underlay to form an impervious, easily cleaned surface. For wet areas, and areas subject to accidental flooding or water splash, the installation of a waterproof membrane between the Ceramic Tile Floor Underlay and the tiling is required.
