XPS TILE BACKER BOARD
XPS (Extruded Polystyrene) Tile Backer Board is a high-performance construction materials, crafted from extruded polystyrene foam with a fiber-reinforced cement coating.
Its lightweight yet rigid, easy to cut and shape properties, mold-resistant makes it ideal for wet environments, preventing structural damage from water penetration.
It also serves as an underlayment for radiant floor heating systems and provides thermal insulation for walls, roofs or floors.
Compared to traditional cement boards, it reduces structural load, simplifies installation, and ensures dimensional stability in humid conditions. Whatever for both residential and commercial projects, it serves as a reliable alternative to traditional cement boards or plywood, ensuring long-lasting even in high-humidity areas.

Core Product Advantages
-
Excellent Waterproof & Moisture Resistance: Adopts fully closed-cell XPS foam core structure with nearly zero water absorption. The double cement-coated fiberglass surface completely resists water penetration and moisture erosion, effectively preventing wall dampness, mildew, peeling, and tile falling off in bathroom and shower areas.
-
Superior Thermal Insulation Performance: XPS core features outstanding heat insulation and low thermal conductivity. It effectively reduces indoor and outdoor heat exchange, keeps indoor temperature stable, saves heating and cooling energy consumption, and is perfectly compatible with underfloor heating systems to improve heating efficiency.
-
Lightweight & High Strength: Compared with traditional cement backer boards, our XPS tile backer board is lighter in weight, easy to transport and handle, while maintaining high compression resistance and structural stability. It will not hollow, deform or crack after long-term use.
-
Easy & Fast Construction: The board can be easily cut into any size and shape with a common utility knife, supporting custom processing for shower niches, shower benches, and pipe boxing. It can be directly bonded or mechanically fixed on walls, floors and stud frames, realizing one-step wall forming.
-
Direct Tiling Surface: The rough cement-coated surface provides strong adhesion for tile adhesive. Ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, natural stone and mosaic can be tiled directly on the board surface without additional plastering or leveling treatment.
-
Durable & Eco-friendly: Made of high-quality environmentally friendly materials, non-toxic and odorless. It features strong aging resistance, corrosion resistance and long service life, adapting to various harsh humid indoor environments.
Installation Guidelines
XPS Tile Backer Board supports two standard installation methods (bonding fixing and mechanical fixing), suitable for different base wall conditions. Strict joint sealing treatment is required to ensure overall waterproof performance.
1, Base Requirement
The installation base (concrete wall, brick wall, wooden or steel stud frame, cement floor) must be clean, dry, flat, firm and free of dust and loose layers.
2,Two Installation Methods
Method 1: Adhesive Bonding (Most Popular)
Apply uniform flexible C2 grade cement-based tile adhesive on the base or board surface with a notched trowel, then press and paste the backer board firmly on the wall or floor. This method is widely used for new decoration and old house renovation projects.
Method 2: Mechanical Fixing
For hollow stud frame walls, use special waterproof screws with gaskets to fix the board. Screw heads need to be sunk slightly below the board surface without damaging the board core structure.
3, Key Waterproof Sealing Steps
The board itself is 100% waterproof, but gaps are the main leakage risks. All board joints, internal and external corners, screw holes, and pipe cut-outs must be fully sealed with professional waterproof joint tape and waterproof sealant. After the sealing layer is completely cured, tile construction can be carried out.
4,Tiling Instruction
Use flexible tile adhesive for thin-layer tiling. Do not use ordinary cement mortar to avoid insufficient adhesion and tile falling off.

Technical Support
1. Based on the customer's requirements, we help design the appearance of the extruded profiles, provide CAD drawings and 3D models for customer confirmation, customize the molds, and extrude the aluminum profiles that meet the customer's requirements.
2. For customers with design capabilities, our professional R&D team will analyze and optimize the design based on the customer's drawings and our experience in extrusion processing, using the most reasonable design to reduce production costs and improve product performance.
3. Our company adopts a "one-stop" service and production model, including product design, customized molds, aluminum bar melting and casting, extrusion profiling, precision machining, and surface treatment. We can effectively control the alloy composition of raw materials and maintain product accuracy throughout the production process, providing you with high-quality products.
Factory Equipment
Extrusion
Equipped with 44 aluminum extrusion lines, MetalPlus is capable of producing various standards of commercial aluminum profiles and industrial aluminum profiles with maximum outer diameter of 350mm.
MetalPlus has 44 aluminum profile extrusion lines equipped with PLC control systems and precise molds. The largest extruder used in the MetalPlus factory is a 6800 ton unit. The machine is used for the production of industrial profiles in various shapes with a maximum diameter of 600mm. This allows us to satisfy the different requirements of our various customers. Some of the aluminum products produced by MetalPlus include radiators, industrial fan blades, motor enclosures, solar cell frames, doors, and windows.
MetalPlus can produce custom molds according to customer requirements. We have the abilities and experience to produce aluminum profiles with complex structures. We have our own R&D team so we can provide reasonable suggestions for our customers in order to create superior products at affordable prices.
Anodizing
Anodizing is a process in which a layer of aluminum oxide is formed on the surface of aluminum alloy products when they are placed in an electrolyte solution and then an electrical current is applied. Oxidized aluminum profiles feature improved corrosion resistance so that the surface can withstand various weather conditions. Meanwhile, the aluminum oxide also increases the product's hardness and wear resistance. MetalPlushas 6 anodizing production lines. The profiles processed in our anodizing lines feature uniform oxidation film thickness and color giving them a beautiful appearance. The oxidized profiles come in various color options including silver, black, gold, champagne, and imitation steel. Other colors can be customized upon request.
The anodized products will all be inspected by highly trained professional inspectors. Defective products which cannot be re-processed will be directly scrapped. Products with uneven color will be de-coated and re-anodized until they can meet the requirements. This ensures that there is no color difference among each batch of products.
Painting
Our factory is equipped with 4 powder spraying lines and all of them are using high-quality spray nozzles from Gema Switzerland. In the meantime, MetalPlus only uses safe and environmental friendly paint with strong adhesive force as well as durable color retention.
CNC Machining
MetalPlus is equipped with highly advanced machining equipment sets. All fine machining processes are accomplished by technicians with rich industry experience. Strict industrial standards are adopted during production to ensure fine machining precision and product quality.
1. MetalPlus has 12 PRATIC machining centers which can be used for the milling, drilling or tapping of profiles from different angles. They are especially suitable for the production of long profiles up to 6 meters. The equipment sets can realize machining of complex profiles with the simplest methods
2. MetalPlus has fully automatic cutting machines from Wegoma which can accomplish precise cutting with automatic and continuous material feeding, which means that the machines feature low labor cost and high production efficiency. Therefore, the cutting price of MetalPlus is significantlylower than that of the other enterprises in the industry.
3. We have 30 punching machines of which the punching pressure ranges from 50 to 100 tons. They can be used for the punching of relatively thick profiles of which the thickness can be over 5MM. There are also 10 stretch bending machines/bending machines which can realize bending of profiles to arc or different angles. The machining angle is highly precise. The factory is also equipped with 10 milling machines, realizing machining of different planes, bevels or grooves so that we can satisfy different machining requirements of our customers.
