IBS PRIMActu Ceramic Tile Underlay
Description

PRIMActu (ceramic tile underlay) is a cellulose fibre cement floor panel. Each panel has a smooth, sanded face which is sealed and ready for tiling. PRIMActu can be used as a ceramic tile underlay which has superior fire performance and is dimensionally stable which makes it an ideal substrate for ceramic tile underlay.

PRIMActu can be directly fixed to an existing timber, particle board, plywood floor and OSB EUROfloor.
