Installation

Concrete Subfloors 

When installing any tile backer board onto a concrete subfloor, we recommend using UltraTile flexible tile adhesive. Please ensure the floor is primed with a suitable primer before installation.

Wood Subfloors

When installing onto wooden floors, we recommend using Ultra flexible tile adhesive in addition to ProWarm insulation fixing pack or suitable screws and washers at every 300mm centres. This is approximately 15 fixings per board.
