Dear Customer,
Yes you can fix to a timber stud wall. You can use 10 or 12mm: 10mm - 300mm centres, 12mm - 400mm centres.
I am happy to assist if you have any questions.

Dear Lawrence,
I understand your concern. Please notice that while having the future floor level under the frame's height is not acceptable, having tiles sitting slightly above the frame is fine. Ideal situation is where tiles are sitting flushed with the frame.
There are 2 solutions:
- using multiple layer of tile adhesive. After first layer is dry you can apply another to build up height which will allow your mosaic tiles to be flushed with the drain's frame.
- using tile backer boards. You'd need to get 6 mm thick tile backer boards, cut them according to the slopes on the tray and fit them prior to finishing it with mosaic.
In both case the most important thing to do is not jeopardizing the slopes on top of the tray. There are diagonal slopes from every corner of the tray to every corner of the drain.
I am happy to assist if you have any further questions.
Kind regards
Dear Tom,
Thank you for being interested in our products. 1200 x 1200 would be fine shower tray for 1200 x 2300 mm wet room enclosed by a shower screen.
According to our fitting instructions, we recommend to remove floor boards, fix battens to the joints and mount at least 18 mm thick marine plywood in between the joints so the ply and joints are on the same level. Then you can fit the tray on top of that prepared supports.
In such case your tray just replace the floor board. If you want to use 18 mm thick backer boards on the remaining floor area I would recommend to go for 35 mm thick tray.
Kind regards

Dear LJ,
No. Tile backer board cannot replace floor boards.
You should:
- remove existing floor boards
- fix battens to the sides of the joints
- mount at least 18 mm thick marine ply in between the joists on top of the battens
- cover newly created floor with tile backer boards and proceed to tiling
I am happy to assist if you have any questions.
Kind regards
Dear Jo,
Thank you for being interested in our products.
Tile backer boards can be stuck down to the floor with tile adhesive, however you need to use washers and screws to fix them to the walls.
I will be happy to assist if you have any questions.

Hello,
Yes, those boards are based on material which provides good insulation, can be used as boards for UFH.
They need to be laid on marine ply, are not strong enough to be installed without underboarding. You can install marine ply in between the joists (on the battens) though to avoid total floor height increase.
I will be happy to assist if you have any questions.
Kind regards

Hello Andy,
Thank you for your question.
Tilepal/Imperboard tile backer boards available in our offer at the moment are finished the same way on both sides, therefore it can be tiled over on either side.
I will be happy to help if you have any questions.
