Break away from flat walls and unlock stunning, sculptural designs with the RTC Patented 3D Tile Backers. These innovative underlayment pieces are the secret weapon for professional tilers and designers looking to achieve dynamic, three-dimensional surfaces with standard stone and tile. If you want a wall that truly moves, these backers make it possible.

Effortless Dimensional Tiling

The RTC 3D Backers allow you to easily manipulate the tile plane, creating captivating visual effects that were once complicated and time-consuming.

 

  • Wedged Designs: Use the 5/16″ – 0″ Tapered Wedged Backers (12″ x 24″) to create flowing, organic shapes. By simply changing the layout—laying them thick end-to-thick end or thick end-to-thin end—you can produce dramatic “Wave” or “Staircase” effects that are totally unexpected.
  • “Popped” Flat Designs: The Flat Backers (available in 1/8″, 3/16″, and 5/16″ thicknesses) are used to make select tiles “pop” out from the main surface. By varying the thickness of the backers, you can create a completely custom, dimensional, and dramatic set of design possibilities.
  • Versatile Shimming: The 3D Flat Backers also serve as an excellent solution for shimming accent tiles or stone pieces where the tile thickness varies, ensuring a level and consistent installation plane.

Whether you’re installing a feature wall, backsplash, or a full room, the RTC 3D Tile Backers provide a simple, yet powerful tool for delivering one-of-a-kind projects that impress. Stop settling for flat—it’s time to make your next tile job genuinely 3D!
