Triton Waterproof Backer Board

Two High Performance Materials. One Watertight Board.

Comprised of the Triton WP watertight membrane adhered to the most advanced backer board available today, Triton Waterproof Backer Board™ combines two steps into one ingenious board. These two powerhouse materials are pre-bonded in a factory setting for ultimate quality control and performance. There’s no better waterproofing board.

The Triton Waterproof Backer Board™ Value Equation

Less Time, Less Material, More Savings

• Eliminate the time-consuming step of adhering a membrane to backer board – it’s already done!
• The innovative fleece weave of the Triton Waterproof Backer Board membrane requires less mortar to achieve optimal tile adhesion
• No need to purchase extra seal tape: the 3” membrane flap provides an instant seal
• Unlike other cement boards, Triton Waterproof Backer Board is quick and easy to work with: it’s lightweight, requires no special tools, and can be cut using the “score and snap” method

How It Works

Featuring a pre-bonded membrane with an overhanging 3" flap, Triton Board eliminates the need to nail the membrane, which is the cause of board cracking: the main source of leaks.

Other cement backer boards leave you bending over backwards to achieve a watertight seal. Not Triton Waterproof Backer Board. It arrives ready to do double the work. You benefit from a watertight membrane and advanced cement backer board in one. Install behind shower walls, countertops, and any other high moisture area where you want to keep water out – and structural integrity intact.

Small Detail. Big Benefit: How One Small (3”) Detail Saves Time and Material

Only Triton Waterproof Backer Board features a unique patent pending design to ensure a watertight seal. While the board is 36” long, the membrane extends to 39”. Instead of requiring additional seal tape, this 3” membrane flap covers the adjoining board so a seal is achieved without puncturing the membrane. Tears and holes in the membrane are the primary source of leaks in other systems.

Why It's Best

Powerful. Natural. Moisture Resistance.

Triton Waterproof Backer Board is made with a revolutionary board comprised of naturally occurring magnesium oxide, a mineral innately resistant to moisture, mold, and mildew. Through a proprietary nano-technology process, the magnesium oxide has been optimized for ultimate performance down to the molecular level. Unlike green gypsum board, Triton Waterproof Backer Board cannot be deteriorated by water. It won’t de-laminate or peel, rot, or swell. Triton Waterproof Backer Board achieves this superior moisture resistance without the toxic waterproofing chemicals added to other cement boards.

Ideal for Clean, Green Construction

People breathe easier when Triton Waterproof Backer Board is installed because it cannot harbor mildew, mold, or even toxic black mold. Triton Waterproof Backer Board is also ideal for those with chemical sensitivities as it contains no chemical irritants or even deadly chemicals found in some boards on the market today. Because it contains no heavy metals, VOCs, or toxic dust, it’s safer for construction teams, too.
