JACKOBOARD® promotes cost and time-saving benefi ts of waterproof XPS construction board
J
ACKOBOARD® from JACKON by BEWI off ers many benefi ts for installers of wetrooms and bathrooms. JACKOBOARD® is a
waterproof, weight-loading and thermally insulating construction board for use in all types of tiling jobs. Critically, because it is manufactured from
100% waterproof XPS, there is no need to tank wetrooms constructed using JACKOBOARD®, either with a waterproof membrane or a paint- on solution. This saves the installer both time and money, since a separate tanking system is not required and only the joints where the boards meet need to be taped. The NHBC Standard states that “backing
surfaces may require protection from a suitable tanking system”. “This guidance is completely correct,” says
Martin Harragan from JACKON by BEWI, “but it should not be interpreted to mean that if you are using an XPS backerboard, such as JACKOBOARD®, you have to tank the entire substrate of your wetroom. The closed structure of an XPS board means that it is totally impossible for water to pass through it, in the way that it would through a fi bre cement board for instance.” JACKOBOARD® is keen to communicate this message to the many diff erent trades who get involved in the installation of wetroom systems, from the shower tray upwards. Although there

are wetroom specialists, this job is often down to plumbers, M&E contractors, tilers, dryliners and fl ooring contractors. So, as wetrooms continue to increase in popularity, there are diff erent trades who need to be aware of the benefi ts of XPS backerboards. While off ering the benefi ts of XPS,
JACKOBOARD® can also off er a price advantage in the marketplace, due to the fact that the company manufactures its own foam, giving it complete control over cost, product quality and sustainability of manufacturing processes. These factors have enabled JACKOBOARD® to become the UK market leader in XPS construction boards.
