The ideal thin substrate for tiles on wooden subfloors

The AQUAPANEL® Cement Board Floor Tile Underlay is a light, highly stable, cementitious dry floor panel which provides the ideal thin substrate for all kinds of tiles on wooden subfloors. It is particularly suitable for applications with a very low floor height because its 6 mm thickness ensures an even transition between tiled floor and carpeting and makes removal of thresholds unnecessary. It is easy to work with and ideal for quick and simple floor refurbishing where a very thin floor construction is required.
