  • How can you prove this?

  • How do I fix JIT BOARD to concrete floors?
    • Lay a 5mm bed of cementitious flexible floor tile adhesive and lay the boards in a chequer plate fashion (like bonding brickwork) onto the adhesive. Firmly bed and allow the adhesive to set before allowing work to continue on the board surface - approxima
  • How do I fix JIT BOARD to walls?
    • JIT can be either fixed to timber battens with screws and screw cups or fixed directly to brick or block walls by drilling, plugging and screwing the boards to the wall. If the wall is to be plaster finished, the joints should be reinforced with a plaster
  • How do I fix JIT BOARD to wooden floors?
    • If the floor is sound and level, JIT BOARDS can be mechanically fixed using screws With large heads, or washers under the head, to enable the screws to 'bite down' into the JIT BOARD. If the flooring is uneven, the floor should be levelled using p
  • How do I join JIT BOARDS together?
    • On floors you butt them up laid in a staggered fashion, just the way a brick wall is built. On walls they can be butted up & mechanically fixed using plugs & screws.
  • How does JIT BOARD compare to plasterboard?
    • It doesn’t there really is no comparison. Standard plasterboard offers approximately 1/6th the U value of an equal thickness of JIT BOARD. and yet is approximately 7 times heavier. When used in wet areas, such as bathrooms or showers, JIT BOARD is t

  • How many fixings do I need to secure JIT BOARD to the floor or wall?
    • In a JIT BOARD 1250mm long, fifteen fixings equally spaced are required on the floor or wall . If adhesive is to be used either on the floor or the wall, boards should be fully bonded and per sqm just needs 6 fixings.
  • How to store JIT BOARD?
    • To ensure the boards flat ,the boards should keep level. Boards can't exposed to fire or other organic solvent so that board can be provented from ultraviolet radiation during long-term storage. Slight bowing caused by incorrect storage or transport,

    • Self-adhesive fiberglass mesh can be applied where doesn’t have strict waterproof requirement .While in the places that needs to be highly waterproof, waterproof tapes are needed for strengthening.Actually, as long as the joints and the other interc
  • The differences between JIT BOARD and pure XPS board
    • A pure XPS board's surface looks relatively smooth, which needs to be processed before applying firmly onto the wall. However, JIT BOARDS require no special treatment before sticking onto the wall.
      After applying onto the wall, tiles cannot be
  • The fire resistant performance of JIT BOARD
    • JIT BOARD is categorised as "Class E" in accordance to EN 13501-1. This means the building boards are combustible. JIT BOARD is generally applied in areas where moisture is much and/or contacting with water is huge; therefore, the boards require
  • What adhesive should I use to fix JIT BOARD?
    • It is recommended that a flexible cementitious floor tile adhesive be used. Solvent-based adhesives must NOT be used as these could cause damage to the JIT BOARDS.
  • What are its benefits?
    • Being extremely strong, JIT BOARD can be used as a structural element in the floor. It will not only take a load of 30 tonnes per square metre, so it's ideal for putting under your floor, but it keeps your floor warmer, longer, by not allowing heat to

    • It is recommended that a flexible cementitious floor tile adhesive be used. Solvent-based adhesives must NOT be used as these could cause damage to the JIT BOARDS.
  • What is JIT BOARD?
    • JIT BOARD is a construction board made of extruded polystyrene, which is totally waterproof, because of the 100% airtight molecular structure,faced on either side with a fibreglass mesh, which is embedded into a thin cement polymer mortar.
  • What thickness of JIT BOARD do I need ?
    • The thicker the JIT BOARD the better the heat insulation, but obviously if you have an existing floor that you want to insulate, you may well be governed by the thickness you can add to the floor because of the height from the finished floor to the unders
  • Where else could I use JIT BOARD?
