Long lead times from overseas-only suppliers have killed more than a few project timelines. TRITON® Waterproof Backer Board gives you a choice, domestic speed or international savings, so you’re never stuck waiting on material when you should be building. Your Schedule. Your Budget. Your Call.
We produce TRITON® Waterproof Board at our plant domestically in Houston, Texas. No shortcuts, no compromises, just made in the USA. When you need material fast, we can deliver it without the container wait.
When lead time isn't the pressure and cost optimization matters, our international production keeps the price competitive without touching the spec. You get the same MgO board, held to the same performance standards, at a lower cost basis.
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.
