Product Usage Instructions
- Clean and prepare the wood subfloor before installation of Tile Floor Backer Board.
- Measure the area to be covered with Tile Floor Backer Board and cut the boards to fit using a circular saw or jigsaw.
- Apply a thin layer of thin-set mortar to the wood subfloor using a notched trowel.
- Place the Tile Floor Backer Board onto the thin-set mortar and press firmly to ensure good adhesion.
- Secure the Tile Floor Backer Board to the wood subfloor using backer board screws spaced every 8 inches around the perimeter and every 12 inches in the field. Be sure to countersink the screws slightly below the surface of the board.
- Use fiberglass tape to cover all joints and corners of the Tile Floor Backer Board. Apply thin-set mortar over the tape and smooth it out with a trowel.
- Allow the thin-set mortar to dry completely before proceeding with tile installation.
Installation Guide
OVER WOOD SUBFLOORS
Note: All backer board sizes and thicknesses can be used as tile underlayments over wood subfloors.
- Using a 1/4” x 1/4” square notch trowel, apply the recommended thin-set mortar to the floor, provided the subfloor is even and load-bearing.
- Place the backer board panels into a mortar and apply weight equally across the surface to ensure a strong bond between the panel and the floor.
- All joints should be staggered so that no seam continues throughout the length of the floor.
- Using the recommended screws and washers, fasten into seams every 12” to create flush transitions.
- All seams and fasteners should be filled in with the recommended joint sealant & spread evenly with a putty knife.
Note:
For concrete subfloors, make sure the concrete floor is fully cured and free
of debris, oil or waxes. Some concrete floors may require priming or vapor
retarders prior to thin-set mortar installations.
