Emser Foam Tile Backer Board — Waterproof

The lightweight, waterproof substrate that replaces cement board. A rigid foam core between waterproof facing layers — it cuts with a utility knife, weighs a fraction of cement board, and needs no separate waterproofing on shower walls. Set it, tape and seal the seams, and tile.

Thinner boards make dead-flat walls and floor leveling; thicker boards build benches, curbs, and shims. Pick the size and thickness for the job.

Features

• Waterproof. Foam core with sealed facers — no additional membrane needed on walls.
• Lightweight & fast. Score-and-snap with a knife; a fraction of cement board's weight.
• Full thickness range. 1/8" leveling sheets up to 2" structural board for benches and curbs.
• Ready to tile. Bond directly with thin-set once seams are taped and sealed.
