Backer boards for stone work

[Triassic]

I’m getting round to the finished touches and I’m having some stone work carried out. The stone mason mentioned stone backer boards ( plastid type) has anyone used these and who makes them ( links). Recommendations please.

Has anyone used this type of product?

I'm not in a position to look into this at present, but they are easy enough to source. You have to consider where any water can go after it runs down the face. Can you drain the bottom?

I’m assuming the board extends into the bottom of the cavity, below the DPC and any moisture discharges there and exits via weep holes.
 

I had hoped someone on he had used this or similar products and could cast some light in them.

They are used to line basements that are damp, and similar for the rear of retaining walls, to divert water to the base.

If the stonework is well done then you are looking at dampness and not liquid, running water.

However there are scenarios that could cause issues.

More info would help. What purpose, location and structure of the wall.

 

I have never used such a product, but i t is easy to google. I think newton is a well known brand.
