Use and Care Guide

Product Description
DensShield
®
Tile Backer is designed for use as a
substrate for tile walls, ceilings, countertops and
commercial and residential floor applications in high
moisture areas. The special moisture-resistant, treated
core
— covered front and back by fiberglass mats —
is lighter than the leading cement board brands
(based on
1
⁄29 [12.7 mm] comparison). The unique
construction (an outer grey heat-cured, copolymer,
moisture-resistant coating placed over fiberglass
mats and a moisture-resistant, treated core) makes
it a preferred product for applications in high
moisture areas.
Applications
• Bathrooms (shower and tub walls, floors and ceilings)
• Kitchens (backsplash, walls, countertops and floors)
• Residential and light commercial floors
• Non-tiled walls and ceilings in indoor swimming
pool enclosures
