100% built-in waterproof
Unlike some competitors, Backer PRO’s waterproofing is engineered throughout every layer of the board — not simply applied as a surface treatment.

The strongest of all leading backer board brands, Hardie® Backer PRO is made to withstand daily wear, prevent damage, and keep tiled surfaces secure.
Better tile adhesion
Engineered for grip that lasts, holding tiles tight to help prevent shifting, cracking, and costly call-backs.
