How Tile Backer Board Solves Old House Problems Such As Wall Cracking and Moisture Issues?

Share:

In old house renovations, problems like wall cracking and moisture-induced mold often trouble homeowners. However, Tile Backer Boards, with their unique properties, have become the "invisible heroes" in solving these persistent issues. As a high-performance extruded polystyrene material, they can fundamentally improve the stability and durability of old house walls.

For the problem of wall cracking, the high-density honeycomb structure of Tile Backer Boards plays a crucial role. Old house walls are prone to stress concentration due to foundation settlement and material aging. Tile Backer Boards, with their excellent anti-deformation ability, can evenly distribute the stress on the walls. When installed on the original wall base during construction, they form an elastic buffer layer, reducing the risk of cracking caused by temperature changes and structural settlement. Meanwhile, their smooth surface provides a stable base for subsequent plastering and tiling, avoiding architectural surface cracking due to uneven substrates.

In addressing moisture and mold issues, the closed-cell structure of Tile Backer Boards acts as an "effective moisture barrier". Old houses generally have problems such as wall leakage and poor air permeability. XPS material has extremely low water absorption, which can effectively block moisture penetration. When used in exterior wall renovations, it can prevent rainwater and moisture from invading the interior of the walls. In humid areas like bathrooms and kitchens, it can prevent moisture from seeping into adjacent rooms and causing mold. When constructed with special sealants, it can form a complete moisture-proof system, thoroughly solving the problem of "rainy season water seepage and year-round dampness" in old houses.

In addition, the thermal insulation properties of Tile Backer Boards can improve the problem of old houses being cold in winter and hot in summer, reducing wall condensation caused by indoor and outdoor temperature differences. Its lightweight feature does not add burden to the walls, and the construction is convenient without large-scale demolition and reconstruction, making it particularly suitable for renovation needs that retain the original wall structure. For old house renovations pursuing cost-effectiveness and long-term performance, Tile Backer Boards are undoubtedly an ideal choice to improve living quality.
