Versabacker Water Resistant Tile Backer Board - Technical Data Sheet

Versabacker® Tile Backer Board is unlike the Gypsum and Plywood products which are commonly used as a tiling substrate in showers where stud walls are common. Both these substrates are susceptible to deterioration if moisture penetrates through a crack or joint on a tiled wall or floor. Constant moisture penetration will cause both products to degrade over time and result in moisture related problems. When Versabacker® Tile Backer Board is used and installed as per the recommended guidelines, these problems should not occur.
