Used as a tile backer, Triton MgO panels go up faster, with fewer steps, and fit entirely within your crew’s current skill set. The boards score and snap cleanly with a standard utility knife, so there are no wet saws or special blades required. If they’ve been installing cement backer board, they’re going to love working with Triton MgO.
