Insulation
Aquapanel Thermal is a Lightweight insulated tile backing board (600mm x1200 x 10mm or 600mm x1200 x 6mm) developed specifically for use with tiles floors. It consists of a Polyfoam core with glass fibre reinforced polymer-modified cement faces.
Aquapanel Thermal is dimensionally stable, doesn't rot or warp and provides excellent resistance to moisture. It also offers the additional benefit of a high level of thermal insulation, making it the ideal substrate for floor tiling over eMat heating systems.
Aquapanel Thermal is extremely light (2.6kg/m2). It's easy to cut (using fine tooth saw, jigsaw or Stanley knife, for example) and to work with.

| Example | Instruction |
|---|---|
 |
Step 1 Lay each board on to a bed of flexible cement based tile adhesive applied with a notched spreader to form a level base. (Follow manufacturers instructions.) |
 |
Step 2 Lay the panels into the adhesive with staggered joints, brickwork style. Use a straight edge and spirit level to ensure good alignment. Lightly butt the boards together, leaving 3mm gap around the outer perimeter of the room. |
 
|
Step 3 (For Suspended Timber Floor Only). Secure with Aquapanel Thermal fixings at a rate of five per m. Make sure fixings are a minimum of 30mm from the edge of the board. Tighten Aquapanel Thermal fixing to the board's surface then drive the washer flush to the surface using a rubber mallet. Re-tighten the screw. Make sure that the floor is level then leave for the adhesive to dry out. |
 |
Step 4 Fill the gaps between Aquapanel Thermal boards with the adhesive. Strengthen the joints with Aquapanel Joint Tape bedded into the wet adhesive. |
 |
Step 5 Now lay the eMat heating system according to the instructions. |
 |
Step 6 Lay tiles using the correct adhesive for the tiles selected (check with the tile supplier), then grout. |
