Knauf Aquapanel Floor Tile Underlay

Aquapanel Floor Tile Underlay cement board is a light, highly stable, cementitious dry floor panel which provides the ideal thin substrate for the majority of modern tiles, and is particularly suitable for use on wooden subfloors.

Perfect for applications with a very low floor height, Aquapanel Floor Tile Underlay’s slim 6mm thickness ensures an even transition between tiled floor and carpeting making the removal of thresholds unnecessary.
Architects and contractors have been relying on Knauf’s Aquapanel Interior technology to protect their tiles in wet areas for many years, having proven itself as the most effective way to stop the causes of tile failure. Aquapanel Floor Tile Underlay uses exactly the same technology to protect floor tiles against failure.

All Knauf Aquapanel boards and components are nonorganic, so there is no chance of mould or fungus growth.

Avoid expensive tile failures

Tile failure is extremely costly in all instances. If a tile fails in a wet area you would normally expect the substrate behind to be damaged as well with traditional materials. Not only are there replacement costs of materials, but for many commercial and leisure applications tile failure may necessitate closing part of the premises.

Knauf Aquapanel systems provide the peace of mind that results from specifying a backing material that is specifically designed for the job. Purpose designed accessories, waterproof screws and high quality Aquapanel cement board linings ensure that Knauf Aquapanel systems are easy to install and continue to perform, even when wet.
