Finish faster without giving anything up. Water is a threat to any tile job and can lead to subfloor rot, structural damage, and costly callbacks, which is why waterproofing is not an extra step but a necessity. Hardie Backer PRO makes it an easy one. With 100% built-in waterproof protection built directly into every board and waterproof seam tape, as part of the complete system, there is no separate membrane to apply and no extra drying time to factor in. Pros already know Hardie Backer for strength and tile adhesion, while Hardie Backer PRO simplifies waterproofing with fewer steps for a fast install and tile same day. The best jobs are the ones that last. Now they can be the ones finished sooner too.
