Tile Backer Board Manufacturer
Angesen® High-Performance Tile Backer Board
The Smarter, Faster, and Stronger Substrate for Professional Wet Room Installations
Product Overview
Angesen (AGS) Waterproof Tile Backer Boards are engineered specifically for high-moisture environments. Built with a high-density Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) core and reinforced on both sides with a polymer-modified cement mortar and alkali-resistant glass fiber mesh.
It is the professional’s choice for replacing heavy cement boards and moisture-sensitive gypsum boards, providing a 100% waterproof, thermally insulated, and dimensionally stable base for any tiling project.
Features & Advantages
I. Unrivaled Bond Strength (0.5 – 1.0 MPa)
The Problem: Large format tiles (LPT) often fail on cheap foam boards due to poor surface adhesion.
The Angesen Solution: Our proprietary cementitious coating is engineered for maximum “mechanical grip.” With a bond strength reaching 1.0 MPa, it safely supports the heaviest porcelain slabs and natural stones without the risk of delamination.
II. 100% Structural Waterproofing
Waterproof to the Core: Unlike “water-resistant” gypsum boards, our XPS core has a closed-cell structure that cannot absorb water.
Health & Safety: By eliminating moisture penetration, Angesen® prevents the growth of mold and mildew, ensuring a healthy indoor environment for decades.
III. Extreme Efficiency (80% Lighter than Cement Board)
Save Your Back: A standard 1220 x 2440 board weighs only about 12kgs (26lbs).
Fast Fabrication: Cut with a simple utility knife—no power tools, no hazardous dust.
Speed to Market: Install, seal, and start tiling in just 1 hour. Reduce your total labor costs by up to 50%.
Technical Specifications
Feature | Angesen XPS Backer Board | Cement Board | Gypsum Board (Drywall) |
Weight | Ultralight (approx. 0.7 – 1.2 lbs/sqft) | Heavy (approx. 3 – 4 lbs/sqft) | Medium (approx. 1.8 – 2.2 lbs/sqft) |
Easily handled by a single person. | Requires two people to lift and install. | Fragile and prone to breakage. | |
Water Resistance | 100% Waterproof | Moderate | Poor |
Closed-cell structure; prevents mold and rot. | Absorbs water, becomes heavier, and leaks. | Disintegrates and grows mold when damp. | |
Installation Speed | Very Fast | Slow | Moderate |
Cut with a utility knife; ready for tiling immediately. | Requires power cutters; creates heavy dust and mess. | Requires joint taping and drying time. | |
Insulation (R-Value) | Excellent (0.034 W/m·K) | Poor | Poor |
Acts as a thermal break for underfloor heating. | No insulation properties; high heat loss. | Low thermal resistance. | |
Compressive Strength | High (≥300 kPa) | Very High | Low |
Rigid substrate for heavy-duty floors. | Strong but brittle. | Susceptible to indentation. | |
Bond Strength | 0.5 – 1.0 MPa | 0.3 – 0.6 MPa | < 0.3 MPa |
Superior adhesion for large format tiles. | Standard adhesion levels. | Risk of tile delamination. |

Installation Summary
1. Substrate: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and load-bearing.
2. Fixing: Use AGS Stainless Steel Washers & Screws for mechanical fixing on studs, or cement-based flexible tile adhesive for solid walls.
3. Sealing: All joints must be sealed with AGS A5 Sealant and reinforced with alkali-resistant tape to maintain system integrity.
Stop Building with Outdated Materials. Start Installing with Angesen®.
Traditional cement boards are heavy, brittle, and prone to moisture wicking. Angesen® Tile Backer Boards redefine the industry standard. Featuring a 100% waterproof high-density XPS core reinforced with a polymer-modified cement coating and alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh, our boards provide the ultimate foundation for any tile or stone project.
