Hardie® Backer Tile Backer Board | 1200mm x 800mm x 12mm

Upgrade your tiling projects with the unmatched protection against moisture damage provided by Hardie® Backer tiling backer board.

Specifically designed for walls in moisture-sensitive areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, Hardie® Backer 12mm is the go-to solution for areas that are highly susceptible to water damage. Unlike traditional tile backer boards that falter under the threat of moisture, Hardie® Backer offers a durable, mould-resistant, and water-resistant cement formulation. This makes it an exceptional alternative to plasterboard, delivering superior protection against moisture damage.


Features & Benefits:

  • Quick Installation: Hardie® Backer is designed for efficiency. Its easy score-and-snap feature means less dust, less debris, and cleaner cuts for tightly aligned edges, simplifying the installation process.

  • Versatility: Compatible with all types of ceramic or stone tiles. Its excellent tile adhesion properties ensure a secure and lasting tile installation, making it a versatile choice for any tiling project.

  • Market Leader in Strength: Offering a dimensionally stable, flat surface for tiling, Hardie® Backer is robust and rigid. It supports up to 200kg/m2 of tile hanging weight, making it the strongest tile backer board available.

  • Reliability: Thanks to advanced fibre cement technology, Hardie® Backer ensures that your tiles and grout won't crack, eliminating the need for call-backs.

  • Certified Quality: Hardie® Backer tile backer board is not only CE and BBA approved (certificate no. 04/4100) but also meets the EN 12467 standard with a class A1 non-combustibility rating, ensuring your peace of mind.

  • Warranty: We stand behind our Hardie® Backer with a 10-year limited product warranty, guaranteeing long-term satisfaction and protection.
