FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the Knauf Aquapanel Floor Tile Underlay?

The underlay measures 1200mm in length, 900mm in width, and 6mm in thickness.

Can this underlay be used with underfloor heating?

The product information does not specify compatibility with underfloor heating. It is recommended to consult the specific underfloor heating system manufacturer for compatibility guidance with tile underlayments.

Is this product suitable for direct tile installation without a finishing floor layer?

No, this product is designed as an underlayment to provide a stable and moisture-resistant base for floor tiles. It is not intended to be a finished surface itself.

How does the Aquapanel Floor Tile Underlay differ from the Aquapanel Tile Backing Board?

The Floor Tile Underlay specifically provides a foundation for flooring. The Aquapanel Tile Backing Board is designed for walls, offering impact resistance and suitability for wet areas, and can be installed over wooden subfloors.

What type of fixings should be used to install the underlay?

It is recommended to use appropriate tile adhesive and mechanical fixings such as screws or nails designed for use with cement boards or underlayment systems, following manufacturer guidelines.

Can I cut the boards easily?

Yes, the boards are precision-manufactured for straightforward cutting to accommodate various installation requirements. Use appropriate cutting tools for the material.

What is the weight capacity of the underlay?

The product information states the related Aquapanel Tile Backing Board can take up to 50 kg/m² as soon as it's installed. Specific weight limits for the floor underlay should be confirmed with the manufacturer for particular load-bearing requirements.

Troubleshooting

Boards do not sit flat on the subfloor.

Ensure the subfloor is level and free from irregularities. Remove any debris or high spots. Check that the underlay boards are not warped; if so, allow them to acclimatize in the installation area before cutting and fitting.

Tile adhesive not bonding properly to the underlay.

Verify that the underlay surface is clean and dry. Ensure the correct type of tile adhesive is being used, suitable for both the tile and the underlay material. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application and drying times.

Concerns about moisture resistance in very wet areas.

While the underlay is moisture-resistant, ensure all joints are properly sealed with appropriate waterproofing membranes or tapes as per tiling best practices for wet areas. Proper sealing of the entire tiled area is crucial.
