Tile Backer has a long history of successful
performance, with hundreds of millions of square feet
installed. DensShield Tile Backer is a substrate that, when
properly installed, resists the effects of water or moisture,
making it excellent for protecting both tile installations and
stud cavities. DensShield Tile Backer is composed of a water-
resistant treated core that is covered front and back with
figerglass mats. The coated fiberglass mats are permanently
integrated with the core during manufacturing to help prevent
delamination problems. On the face side of DensShield Tile
Backer is a heat-cured acrylic coating which stops moisture
at the surface and retards vapor transmission, protecting the
wall cavity and floor substrate from moisture intrusion. Unlike
cementitious backer boards, DensShield Tile Backer does not
require an additional moisture barrier.
