Designed to meet the rigorous demands of both residential and commercial environments, this innovative backerboard is the ideal substrate for tile, stone, vinyl, and even painted surfaces.
Key Features & Benefits
- 
Integrated Waterproof Technology
Unlike traditional cement boards, Fiberock® AquaSmart™ features a homogenous waterproof core that meets ANSI 118.10 (Section 4.5) standards. This proprietary technology ensures consistent moisture resistance throughout the panel, making it ideal for wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms
 
- 
Superior Durability & Mold Resistance
Constructed from fiber-reinforced gypsum, the panel offers exceptional strength and mold resistance. Its uniform composition eliminates the risk of delamination, tearing, or scratching, even in high-humidity environments
 
- 
Lightweight & Easy to Install
At just 33.2 lbs per panel, Fiberock® is up to 35% lighter than traditional fiber cement boards, making it easier to cut, carry, and install. The square edge design ensures a snug fit and clean finish, reducing installation time and labor costs
