PCS construction boards stack imageWhat is PCS tile backer board?
PCS board is 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 wall or framework of wood or metal. Lining a room with PCS board 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 PCS self adhesive fibreglass mesh tape, tiling can then commence.

PCS board helps prevent heat loss through concrete floors and is therefore ideal for use with undertile heating systems. When using PCS board 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 system without it. A host of leading underfloor heating manufacturers recommend using PCS board.


What is PCS board made of?

PCS Thermal Substrate Board (tilebacker board) is constructed with a rigid extruded polystyrene core and is layered both sides with a alkaline resistant glass fibre reinforcement mesh encapsulated with a high polymer modified cement based coating.
