ARDEX TLT™ Building Panels
Building Panels for Shower Systems
- XPS foam panel
- Blend of synthetic polymer mortar and an alkali-resistant fiber mesh
- Strong, lightweight, waterproof, and vapor-resistant tile base
Information ARDEX TLT™ Building Panels
ARDEX TLT™ Building Panels offer builders and tile contractors a strong, lightweight, waterproof, and vapor-resistant tile base for wet areas. It is an XPS foam panel manufactured with a proprietary blend of synthetic polymer mortar and an alkali-resistant fiber mesh. This gives it a highly rigid structure and exceptional bonding strength.
Key Features
- Alkali-resistant glass fiber mesh
- Polymeric cement mortar
- XPS Foam
- Polymeric cement mortar
