Cement Board for Construction and Tile Applications

Cement board is a cement-based building panel designed to provide a stable, durable substrate for a variety of construction applications.

It is commonly used behind tile installations and in areas where conventional drywall may not be the appropriate substrate due to moisture exposure.

Cement Backer Board for Wet Areas

Cement boards are frequently used in bathrooms, showers, kitchens and other areas where the wall assembly may be exposed to moisture.

Its resistance to moisture makes it a suitable component for many wet-area assemblies when properly installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Cement Board for Tile Installation

One of the most common applications is as a tile backer board. It provides a solid substrate that can support tile installations on walls and other appropriate surfaces.

Proper waterproofing, joint treatment and installation methods remain important for the performance of the complete assembly.

Applications

Cement board can be used for:

• Tile backer applications
• Bathroom walls
• Shower areas
• Kitchen applications
• Interior walls
• Wet-area construction
• Residential construction
• Commercial construction
• Remodeling and renovation

How to Choose the Right One

When selecting cement board, consider the specific application, panel thickness, dimensions, moisture exposure, installation location and compatibility with the complete wall or tile assembly.

Always follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and applicable building codes for the project.
