underfloor heating
JIT thermal tilebacker boards are well suited to underfloor and under tile heating applications. Offering excellent Thermal properties, high density and moisture proof.
Product Overview
JIT thermal tilebacker boards are well suited to underfloor and under tile heating applications. Offering excellent Thermal properties, high density and moisture proof. Installed below underfloor heating cables or mats on an existing un-insulated concrete or timber floor they will greatly reduce warmup time and subsequent running costs. JIT thermal tilebacker board is an advanced product which saves you money by preventing heat loss into concrete floors.

JIT Thermal Tilebacker Boards
Thermal boards are the perfect solution to insulate and waterproof in one operation. Ideal to use as an insulation board for most internal construction tasks. The board can be fixed to any suitable floor and installation can be a one man operation, as it is light to use and can be cut easily with a saw or knife. When fixed into place,the joints should be reinforced with a self-adhesive fibreglass mesh tape,tiling can then commence.
Why use thermal Tilebacker boards with Heat Mat underfloor heating?
Thermal Boards help prevent heat loss through concrete floors and is therefore ideal for use with underfloor heating systems. When using thermal boards in conjunction with underfloor heating, a warm floor can be achieved in as little time as 20 minutes, whereas it can take two hours or more on a completely uninsulated base.
Why use thermal Tilebacker boards underneath tiles?
When laying tiles onto floors, fitting a thermal insulation board between the floor base and the tiles will ensure the tiles are secured and permanently fixed to the floor,even in areas in contact with water.
What are JIT Thermal Tilebacker Boards made of?
Our thermal insulation board is a waterproof board constructed from a core of fire resistant XPS encased in a glass fibre mesh reinforced with polymer cement.
Benefits of using JIT board for floor heating:
1.Acts as a thermal barrier and significantly reduces heat loss to the substrate.
2.Transforms undertile heating into a very responsive and efficient system.
3.After switching on your heating, your floor tiles will warm up in about 15-20 minutes, even on a cold concrete floor.
4.On a wooden floor, it has a 2 degree increase every 10 minutes from start up.
5.Ideal for use in wet areas, showers and bathrooms
6.Shows excellent acoustic properties particularly in reducing footfall noise and the echo often associated with large tiled areas. JIT Insulation boards can reduce sound by 20 decibels.
7.Can replace tile and slate underlay, providing the sub-floor is structurally sound and flat.
8.The boards are supplied in thicknesses ranging from 6mm - 50mm depending on floor thresholds and your budget.

Advantages
1.Reduces Your Carbon Footprint – Our insulation boards enable your Heat Mat system to run more efficiently reducing your energy usage and running costs.
2.High Thermal Insulation – The core is composed of extruded polystyrene which is one of the best thermal insulating materials available.
3.Waterproof – It will not warp, swell or decay in contact with water there by ensuring the tiles remain in place.
4.Compressive Strength Sheer Load Up to 30 tonnes/m2 60kg/m2
5.Lightweight – An advantage over plywood, plasterboard and “cement-type” backer board is that our board is very light. This makes installation an easy one-man job.
6.Soundproof Properties – Impact Sound reduction.
7.Ready to Receive Tiles/Plaster – No priming is needed. It Pays For Itself – By reducing the running costs of your
8.Heat Mat system the 10mm boards can pay for themselves in as little as 3 years, if used on a poorly insulated floor base.

We recommends...
When choosing the thickness of boards most suitable for your installation you should consider a number of factors. Firstly, the build height that you have available to you may limit you to, for example, a maximum board thickness of 6mm. Additionally, if you are using the boards to secure a wooden base you should always use 10mm thick boards. If, however, you have the available build height we would recommend using our 20mm insulation boards as these provide a very good trade off between cost and insulation efficiency providing a U Value (W/m2k) of 1.35. Our 10mm boards have a U Value of 2.70 and our 6mm boards a U Value of 4.50. The boards should be fully secured to the base using a full bed of suitable flexible tile adhesive or screwed into position on wooden bases with the aid of metal fixing washers.Reinforcement tape should be used when laying the boards to provide a secure join beneath separate panels.
Fixing to Wooden Floors
By Adhesive
Our boards can be laid onto a level floor, with a suitable flexible rapid set cementitious tile adhesive – solvent based or ready mixed adhesives MUST NOT be used. Boards should be thoroughly bedded and laid in a chequer plate fashion, like bonding brickwork, making sure that there are no gaps between the boards.
By Mechanical Fixing
Our boards should be fixed to a secured wooden base using approximately 12 screws per 1220mm x 600mm board at 300mm centers; a 35mm fixing washer should be used under each screw head and the screw tightened until the washer bites into the board to provide a firm hold.The length screw should be used to allow it to pass through the board and into the wooden base beneath. The boards should belaid in a checker plate fashion. The base should be checked to ensure there are NO electrical cables or pipework beneath that may be damaged by the screws when affixing the boards. (Please note that 6mm boards are not suitable for use with mechanical fixings)
Fixing to Concrete Floors
Fixing to Concrete Floors
Prior to the fixing of JIT Boards, all traces of loose material should be removed back to the concrete substrate. The floor should be level and dust free. New concrete or screed should be correctly cured prior to the fixing of board. Seal the floor with a suitable primer. A suitable flexible rapid set cementitious tile adhesive should be used – solvent based adhesives or ready mixed adhesives MUST NOT be used. Apply the bed of adhesive to the floor using a 8mm square notched trowel. Boards should be thoroughly bedded and laid in a chequer plate fashion, like bonding brickwork, making sure that there are no gaps between the boards. Any slight depressions in the concrete floor will normally be taken up with the thickness of the adhesive. Boards should be thoroughly bedded, ensuring that no voids remain beneath them.
Before installing your underfloor heating system
Installing heating mats/ cables and floor tiles
Before starting to install your underfloor heating system you must tape all joins between the boards with selfadhesive reinforcing tape. After the tape has been laid you should prime the boards with a primer suitable for use with the tile adhesive or levelling compound you have chosen.
Installing heating mats/ cables and floor tiles
Proceed to lay the mats and floor tiles in the standard way that is described in the supplier instructions for use heating mats and cables.It is not necessary to first penetrate the foundation boards,as JIT boards stick very well to the cement adhesive materials even without the penetration coat.
