Breakthrough Products
The 2008 Site Commander tour spotlights these innovative products and jobsite solutions that improve quality, save time, and increase productivity.
Georgia-Pacific
Georgia-Pacific’s DensGuard Tile Backer is lightweight, and because you can cut it with a utility knife, it’s easier to install than cement board. DensGuard assures superior moisture resistance, achieving the highest scores under standard industry testing for mold resistance. It’s code-approved for use in wet areas, and more effective than cement board in preventing moisture from wicking behind the tile over time. Backed by a lifetime limited residential warranty, DensGuard backer board uses a proven fiberglass-mat technology to deliver one of the tile industry’s most trusted products.
Georgia-Pacific Features:
- Scores and snaps with a standard utility knife
- Fastens with ordinary tools and fasteners
- Moisture barrier on face blocks water penetration
- Fiberglass mat face and back resists mold
