FIBEROCK® Aqua-Tough™ tile backerboard is a unique, fiber-reinforced gypsum product that represents a new era in substrate performance for wet or dry areas, as recognized within the TCNA Handbook and International Residential Code. This durable panel offers superior performance and tile bond in addition to an integral water-resistant core.
Unlike traditional water-resistant gypsum board, FIBEROCK Aqua-Tough tile backerboard derives both strength and water-resistance from its uniform composition. Made of a uniquely engineered gypsum/cellulose-fiber combination, it is strong, water resistant, and mold resistant, scoring a 10, the highest possible rating on ASTM D 3273. With no paper face to delaminate, tear, or scratch, it maintains its integrity, even when wet.
The backerboard can be finished with ceramic tile or painted, and has a 20 year limited warranty. It is environmentally friendly, made from 95-percent recycled materials, earning it Green Cross Certification from Scientific Certification Systems.

With increased resistance to indentation and penetration, FIBEROCK® Aqua-Tough™ interior panels outperform paper-faced and glass, mat-faced panels. They are suitable for use on walls, ceilings, and exterior dry soffit applications, offering abuse-, moisture-, mold-, and fire-resistance.
These high-performance panels derive both strength and water resistance from their uniform composition. As a result, they won’t lose their strength when cut. And they are ideal for wet areas, because their panel surface will not delaminate when wet.
They provide a smooth, paintable surface that can also be finished with ceramic tile. One type of panel can be used for an entire room, shortening job schedules and lowering in-place costs.
They are made from 95-percent recycled materials, an environmentally friendly option for use in sustainable building construction.
