THINSET TILE OR STONE OVER
INFLOORBOARD™:
Infloorboard™ shall be installed over a
wooden subfloor, complying with
“General Infloorboard™ Installation
Requirements For All Flooring Over
Wood Subfloor”. In addition, the fol-
lowing specific cautions and instruc-
tions shall be followed:
When installing masonry, tile and stone,
backer board shall be used over
Infloorboard™. Thin set installation
shall then be used. In the kitchen,
baths, laundry or any other area where
water may be present, water sealant
layer (i.e. Nobleseal) shall be used.
Where tile or stone is going to be thin-
set, anti-fracture membrane (Nobleseal)
or equivalent shall be installed over the
backerboard. Maintain 2” minimum
tubing clearance when screwing backer
board down. Refer to the complete
installation manual for further instruc-
tions on the installation of the
Infloorboard™ system.
Thinset Tile or Stone for areas unlikely to be
subject to moisture
Thinset Tile or Stone for areas likely to be
subject to moisture
Notes On Sealing
The aluminum layer on the top of
each Infloorboard™ is highly water
resistant. Thus a significant
degree of moisture protection can
be given to the board simply by
using silicon sealant as a caulk
between the boards. Properly
applied, this will profoundly
reduce the likelihood of water
transmission into the boards. This
is not a substitute for recommend-
ed installation methods in wet
areas.
INSTALLER’S CAUTION:
Do not omit the backerboard layer. Do not
thinset directly to Infloorboard™, the alu-
minum will not provide a good bond. Do not
install crack isolation membranes directly to
Infloorboard™, they will not get a good bond
and many of them use materials that are
incompatible for contact with Pex pipe.
