Kerakoll VipaBoard Multi-Purpose Construction Board 1200mm x 600mm (Choice Of Size)

VipaBoard is a multi-purpose lightweight construction board, designed for the application of all tile types, cement-based screeds and synthetic renders. VipaBoard is manufactured using high-density extruded polystyrene which provides excellent insulating properties.

The extruded polystyrene core has a factory-applied reinforced cement coating which provides excellent impact strength, sound reduction and fire resistance making them ideal for construction.

VipaBoard is easy to use and can be fixed using cement-based flexible tile adhesive solvent-based or ready-mixed adhesives MUST NOT be used. Alternatively, VipaBoard can be fixed using dowels and washers. Once fixed, VipaBoard provides a perfect surface on which to apply finishes such as tiles, synthetic renders, decorative plaster etc.

VipaBoard enhances underfloor heating systems by reducing downward heat loss. VipaBoard is resistant to water making them ideal for use in areas subject to prolonged or permanent water immersion.

VipaBoard fixed to floors can resist significant static loads of up to 30 tons m when fixed over concrete and structurally stable floors (calculation based on a 1mtr x 1mtr tile fixed over the VipaBoard)

VipaBoard fixed to masonry walls and stud framework is capable of vertical tile loading of 90Kgm.

VipaBoard can be used anywhere where tile is applied; on floors, walls, ceilings and even countertops. It should be used especially in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens where walls and floors are particularly exposed to moisture. Typically, 10mm is used on the floors and 12.5mm on the walls, however, our boards range from 4mm right through to 80mm to suit any project.
