 DensShield® Tile Backer
DensShield® tile backer is a mold-resistant tile backer board with fiberglass-mat facings and a unique acrylic coating that blocks moisture from entering the wall or floor cavity.
Greenboard is out! So now what?
International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) changes made in 2006 approve the use of a glass-mat gypsum backers in wet areas such as tubs and showers, where greenboard is no longer approved. These code changes impact installation requirements in both commercial applications (PDF: 230KB/2pgs) and residential applications (PDF: 225KB/2pgs). DensShield tile backer dramatically outperforms heavy, hard-to-install cement backer boards in moisture protection, strength and ease of installation. |
