EZ Backer is a lightweight and waterproof insulated backer board specifi cally designed for wall tile applications. Made of high density expanded polystyrenereinforced, onboth sides, with a fi berglass mesh and cement mortar coating, EZ Backer is a superior backer board for ceramic tile used on walls, bathtub surrounds, and countertops*.

Despite every precaution in todays building market, moisture and mold are frequent problems.
The key to preventing mold and fungi problems is moisture control. EZ Backer has passed the demanding ANSI A118.10 – Section 4.5 – Waterproof testing in accordance with the Hydrostatic Pressure Test in ASTM D-4068, Annex A2.
EZ Backer has also passed ASTM G-21 and G-22 – Resistance to Fungi and Bacteria.

EZ Backer delivers superior performance in resisting moisture and mold.

A vapor barrier is still recommended for steam room and steam shower installations. A minimum of 6 mil polyethylene or equivalent membrane may be used behind EZ Backer or a liquid applied waterproof membrane may be applied over EZ Backer to create a vapor barrier.

EZ Backer is available in a ½” x 3’ x 5’ panel and provides easier installations without sacrifi cing
performance. Its advantages are its lightweight nature, just under 6 pounds per panel, and its ease of cutting with only a simple utility knife.
Attaching the boards is easily accomplished by screwing or nailing through the board with EZ Backer Tab Washers or EZ Backer Cap Nails every 8” o.c./25 per board.
For complete waterproof performance, Fin Pan specifies an approved polyurethane sealant in and
over all joints and fasteners.

EZ Backer can be installed in a fraction of the time required for traditional backer boards and without all the mess and weight.

Note: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure waterproofness prior to tiling.

recommended. Visquene may be used behind EZ Backer or a liquid applied waterproof membrane may
be applied over EZ Backer to create a vapor barrier.
