OCM XPS Foam Tile Backer Board Lightweight Waterproof Thermal Insulated Construction Panel for Walls Floors

      In today's competitive construction materials market, OCM XPS Foam Tile Backer Board is setting new standards for high-performance building solutions. Designed for contractors, distributors, and architects, this advanced extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam cement board combines waterproof performance, thermal insulation, and easy installation to meet the demands of both residential and commercial projects.

What is XPS Foam Tile Backer Board?

      The XPS tile backer board is composed of extruded polystyrene foam (XPS) with a reinforced surface finish using fiberglass mesh and a thin cementitious polymer coating. This combination creates an exceptionally water-resistant, durable tile substrate suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and shower walls.

Unlike traditional cement backer boards, OCM’s XPS Foam Tile Backer Board is lightweight, easier to handle, and provides superior insulation properties, making it a preferred choice for modern construction applications.

Key Features & Benefits

1. 100% Waterproof & Mold Resistant
The closed-cell XPS foam core ensures exceptional waterproofing, protecting structures from moisture infiltration — even in high-humidity environments.

2. Excellent Thermal Insulation
XPS foam provides high R-value insulation, reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency — ideal for floor heating systems or exterior walls. 

3. Lightweight & Easy to Install
OCM’s panels are significantly lighter than traditional cement boards, reducing labor costs and simplifying installation. They can be easily cut with basic tools such as a utility knife.

4. High Compressive Strength & Stability
Despite its lightweight structure, XPS offers high compressive strength, providing reliable support for tile installations across various applications.

5. Versatile for Multiple Applications
Used as a tile backer board, floor underlayment, wall substrate, or insulation layer, OCM XPS panels are perfect for wet rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces.

Typical Applications

✔ Tile Backer Board for Walls & Floors
✔ Underlayment for Ceramic & Porcelain Tile
✔ Substrate for Countertops & Showers
✔ Thermal Insulation for Underfloor Heating
✔ Moisture Protection in Wet Areas

OCM XPS boards are an excellent alternative to traditional gypsum and cement backer boards, offering superior waterproofing and energy-efficient performance.
