A USG cement board used as a tile backer in showers, tub surrounds and floors.
Durock is a cement board brand from USG, used as a backer for tile on walls, floors and countertops. In showers, cement board is a durable substrate that holds up to moisture better than drywall. Like other cement boards, it is not waterproof on its own and is paired with a membrane on shower walls and pans. Tile installers in Nashville see Durock on many remodel jobs, often installed with taped seams and a liquid or sheet waterproofing layer.
We are an independent contractor and install Durock when you choose it. We fasten board correctly, tape and fill seams and apply waterproofing and tile in the right order. We check flatness, since cement board does not fix wavy framing, and we explain why waterproofing is needed. When another backer or system is better suited, we say so honestly.
