Made of a uniquely engineered gypsum/cellulose-fiber combination, it is strong, water resistant, and mold resistant, scoring a 10, the highest possible rating on ASTM D 3273. With no paper face to delaminate, tear, or scratch, it maintains its integrity, even when wet.
The backerboard can be finished with ceramic tile or painted, and has a 20 year limited warranty. It is environmentally friendly, made from 95-percent recycled materials, earning it Green Cross Certification from Scientific Certification Systems.
