CGC Durock® Brand Cement Board with EdgeGuard™ offers architects, builders and tile contractors a strong, water-durable tile base for tub and shower areas. Also an ideal underlayment for tile on floors and countertops in new construction and remodeling. Board is readily applied over wood or steel framing spaced 406 mm (16 in.) o.c. with corrosion-resistant wood or steel screws or hot-dipped galvanized roofing nails. After joints are treated, ceramic wall or floor tile is applied using latex fortified mortar or Type 1 organic adhesive.

CGC Durock® Cement Board with EdgeGuard is preferred by many applicators as a base for directly applied finishes, tile, stone and thin-brick used in building exteriors.

The 12.7 mm (1/2 in.) and 15.9 mm (5/8 in.) panels are Underwriters Laboratories Canada (ULC) classified for fire resistance, and may be used in any ULC design where Type DCB panels are listed.
