PRODUCT DATA

THE ENVIRONMENTAL CEMENT BACKER BOARD

Product description

Smartboard is a light weight cementitious backer board designed for use in the construction of exterior and interior wall systems, as an underlayment for ceramic tile in wet or dry areas and for a wide variety of construction applications involving floors, walls, hearth protectors, countertops and any areas where extra protection or reinforcement is needed.

Made of 50% light weight expanded aggregate, alkali-resistant woven fiberglass mesh and other additives, Smartboard results in superior installed performance on wall systems. Our product is the best substrate for ceramic tile in wet areas - wood, plywood, particle board and drywall underlayments deteriorate when exposed to water.
