| New high-density DensShield Tile Backer New high-density ¼" DensShield Tile Backer from Georgia-Pacific passed the stringent Robinson Floor Test. With a compression rating greater than 1500 psi, ¼" DensShield Tile Backer has the strength to ensure that tile floors maintain their integrity over time. Tile floors laid over backer boards that are too soft can incur damage when heavy appliances or furniture rest on them. New ¼" high-density DensShield Tile Backer has the strength and durability required for the residential tile applications. The newly formulated high-density core of DensShield Tile Backer also allows mechanical attachment of the product to the floor system not only with screws or nails but also with labor-saving staples, making installation faster than ever. The product can be scored with a standard utility knife and snapped without requiring special tools, unlike cement-based boards. Even rounded cuts are easy. No ragged edges or gritty mess that can scratch fixtures. The product features a built-in water barrier that stops moisture at the surface. The acrylic coating helps protect the tile installation and plywood subfloor from moisture intrusion and damage. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
