GoBoard® is easy to handle, cut, and install and is ideal for both professionals and DIYers looking to quickly complete their tile projects. See why you should consider this waterproof alternative for your next project.


Benefits of GoBoard®

Whether you need to protect flooring, wall studs, or the interior of your roofing, these are the main benefits why GoBoard® will help your structures last longer than when using other heavy or cement boards.

Lightweight

GoBoard® is up to 80% lighter than cement and other heavy boards. No matter the size you need, you’ll find that it’s easy to work with thanks to the fiberglass exterior and high-density closed-cell foam core.

Durable

The fiberglass exterior and foam core don’t just make GoBoard® lightweight, they also make it durable. The material’s compressive strength is rated at >250 psi (¼”), >200 psi (½”), and >200 psi (⅝”). This strength has given GoBoard® a Robinson Floor Test rating of ‘Light Commercial’ for both ¼” and ½” sizes.

Waterproof

The high density closed-cell foam core is what makes GoBoard® the trusted waterproof backing board it is quickly becoming known to be. Water will not pass through the board like it would with cement. Only the board joints and fasteners will need to be sealed – not the board itself.

Easy Installation

Avoid the high costs of installation when you use GoBoard®. It has a lower material cost because no time is needed for waterproofing the boards. Time is also saved in transportation and maneuvering into position because of its lightweight. GoBoard®’s fiberglass and polyisocyanurate body allows it to be cut with a basic utility knife without crumbling or disintegrating, saving on clean-up time and costs. Compare that to cement and other heavy boards!
