Saint-Gobain Gyproc Aquaroc Cement Board, 1200X2400X12mm, Moisture-Resistant Board for Wet Areas

Gyproc Aquaroc Cement Board is a tile-ready backing board intended for walls and floors in domestic and commercial settings. It’s optimized for tiling in bathrooms and other wet areas, providing a robust, waterproof surface for tile and mosaic applications.

It is manufactured from Portland cement, calcium sulphate dihydrate, expanded perlite and other additives. The board is waterproof, mould- and mildew-resistant, and has ultra-low moisture absorption to protect fixtures and reduce water-related damage in wet environments.

The board comes in a large format of 12 X 1200 X 2400 mm. This size enables quicker coverage on walls and floors and provides a smooth surface that facilitates tile and mosaic adhesion.

Aquaroc is designed to be lightweight with a large-format panel and strong moisture resistance, making it competitive for wet-area tiling. Other cement boards on Fepy may emphasize different attributes (e.g., thickness, weight, acoustic performance, or fire rating). Review each product’s specifications to determine which best fits your project needs.

Bathrooms and wet rooms for wall tiling, shower enclosures, kitchens with splash zones, and tiled floor areas where a durable, moisture-resistant substrate is beneficial.

Ensure joints and edges are properly sealed and waterproofed as required by the tile adhesive and membrane system used. Clean the tiled surface with mild cleaners and inspect for any signs of moisture ingress over time, re-sealing as recommended by tile and waterproofing product guidelines.

Aquaroc provides a robust, moisture-resistant surface that supports reliable tile adhesion in wet areas, with large-format panels that speed up installation. Its environmental notes—being plastic-free and recyclable—can also be factors in projects prioritizing sustainability.
