TRITON® Waterproof Backer Board

TRITON® [WPBK] Waterproof Backer Board combines our patented MgO tile backer technology with a factory-applied waterproof and vapor barrier membrane, delivering an all-in-one solution that replaces both cement backer board and separate waterproofing layers.

Engineered for showers, bathrooms, and any moisture-prone application, it maintains a true watertight seal across floors, walls, and ceilings. Lightweight and easy to score and snap, it installs faster than traditional cement board without compromising performance.

ICC-ES certified and compliant with ANSI A118.10. Mold resistant. Free of crystalline silica and VOCs. Built to code, built to last.
