1/2 in x 4 ft x 5 ft GP DensShield Tile Backer

Engineered to prevent damage to the sub-floor or wall cavity if moisture seeps through grouted tile, DensShield® Tile Backer is the first backer board with a built-in moisture barrier. It’s the ideal ceramic tile underlayment for new construction, bathroom remodeling, pool areas, and many other high humidity or wet areas1. Easier to handle than cement board, DensShield Tile Backer cuts and installs like drywall without special tools or fasteners. It can also be painted or used in non-wet areas. DensShield Tile Backer conforms to requirements of 2009 IBC/IRC Code for tile backer in wet areas. It’s available in convenient sizes, including 5/8″ Type X board (per ASTM C1178) for use in appropriate fire-rated assemblies.
