Like most innovations and inventions, rigid cement backer boards were born out of necessity. Historically, builders would use drywall or wood to support tile installations because these two materials proved to work well at first, but they inevitably failed over time.

Introducing Wagner Meters’ Rapid RH testing system. For successful flooring projects, it is crucial to measure moisture below the surface of the concrete slab. Only the in situ relative humidity (RH) test is scientifically proven for accuracy and reliability.

Schnox EPA and EPA Rapid are two of the industry’s most sought-after moisture mitigation solutions. With EPA and EPA Rapid, residual moisture issues in your interior or exterior concrete subfloor as high as 100% RH are handled with just one coat.

Prova Mat from Prova Products is a thin, polypropylene waterproofing membrane designed to be applied with thinset under ceramic or stone tile to most common substrates that are flat, dry and structurally sound.

Prodeso Membrane from Progress Profiles is an uncoupling and waterproofing membrane in polyethylene with drop-shaped cavities, suitable for problematic indoor/outdoor supports, terraces, balconies and horizontal surfaces of any size.

NXT®Vapor Reduction Coating from Laticrete is a single-coat, low-odor, 100% solids epoxy coating specifically designed for controlling the moisture vapor emission rate from new or existing concrete slabs. NXT Vapor Reduction Coating is compatible with NXT underlayments, as well as non-water-based adhesives for tile installations.
