/ Wet Area flooring
CBMA’s wet‑area flooring solution is built around Floorplex – a single 19 mm structural board designed for internal wet areas and external balconies. It reduces layers, simplifies substrates and speeds up installation without compromising compliance.
Features of a Modern Wet‑Area Substrate
Floorplex is designed for straightforward installation and finishing. Boards can be cut with standard saw blades, drilled, and fixed with screws or nail guns. Once installed per the guide, the substrate can receive tiles or other finishes as required by the specification.
Builders and installers look for:
- Structural performance with a 19 mm board
- Simplified install with fewer layers
- Lighter handling vs traditional wet‑area panels
- Standard tools (cut with a normal blade; screw or gun‑nail fix)
- Safer on site (no hazardous materials)
/ Applications for wet area flooring
Floorplex is suited to residential and multi‑residential projects where a structural wet‑area substrate is required, including:
- Bathrooms and ensuites
- Laundries and kitchens
- Internal wet rooms
- External balconies (per install guide)
- General sub‑floors
/ Why a single 19mm board matters
A single 19 mm board provides the structural thickness many tile assemblies expect, helping to reduce extra layers like separate tile underlay. Using one board inside and out also lowers the risk of installing the wrong sheet in the wrong area and streamlines ordering and inventory.

/ FAQ
Do I still need a separate tile underlay?
The 19 mm board is designed to remove additional underlay in many applications—always confirm with the installation guide and project specification.
Can I use the same board inside and on balconies?
Yes—Floorplex is designed for internal wet areas and external balconies when installed as per the guide. Saving incorrect product in the wrong zones.
Is Floorplex easier to cut than typical fibre‑cement wet‑area sheets?
Yes. Floorplex is lighter and can be cut with a standard saw, then screwed or gun‑nailed, improving handling and site efficiency.
