wedi Contract Board XPS Hard Foam Tile Backer Board 1300mm x 600mm

The Contract Board by wedi is an XPS hard foam board that consists of a core of XPS foam, reinforced on both sides with a glass fibre scrim and coated with a mortar.

The XPS hard foam board is versatile due to its special properties:
- Suitable for direct laying of tiles and slabs using the thin-bed method.
- Suitable for direct application for filler and plaster.
- No primer before applying the tile adhesive needed.
- Can be used for indoor insulation.
- Is ideally suited for the wet room in combination with a sealing system.
- The XPS hard foam board is approved for indoor use in rooms with normal temperatures.

The XPS hard foam board can be processed with all commercially available tools, such as a cutter knife, hand saw, jigsaw, hand circular saw, and table circular saw.

- Stud frame application not approved.
- Glue onto a load-bearing substrate over the entire surface (without cavities).

XPS hard foam boards with thickness ≥ 12.5 mm:
- Glue or screw to load-bearing stud frame with a stud frame spacing of max. 300 mm (8 screws per XPS hard foam board).
- Alternatively, glue over the entire surface.

XPS hard foam boards with thickness ≥ 20 mm:
- Glue or screw to load-bearing stud frame with a stud frame spacing of max. 600 mm (8 screws per XPS hard foam board).
