Abstract
A composite backer board for wet space construction is disclosed, along with a method of producing the backer board. The board includes a rigid foam core of a suitable thickness for wet space construction. A first fabric layer is fixed to at least one face of the rigid foam core with a polymeric adhesive. A first polymer layer is on the first fabric layer in which the polymer layer is dimensionally stable parallel to the face of the rigid foam core. A second fabric layer is on the first polymer layer opposite the first fabric layer and forms a first face that is amenable to thin set mortar and related compositions in wet space construction.
Claims17
A composite backer board for wet space construction, said board comprising:
- a rigid foam core of a suitable thickness for wet space construction;
- a polymeric adhesive layer fixed directly to at least one face of the rigid foam core;
- a first fabric layer fixed directly to the polymeric adhesive layer;
- a first polymer layer affixed to said first fabric layer in which the polymer layer is dimensionally stable parallel to said face of said rigid foam core;
- and
- a second fabric layer affixed to said first polymer layer opposite said first fabric layer and forming a first face that is amenable to thin set mortar and related compositions in wet space construction.
A composite backer board for wet space construction, said board comprising:
- a rigid foam core of a suitable thickness for wet space construction;
