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%.

 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Stop Building with Outdated Materials.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.
