Cement Board Installation
Welcome to Mokena Siding
Serving Mokena, IL
Cement board installation is a crucial step in many construction and remodeling projects, particularly in areas exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Cement board, often referred to as backer board, provides a stable and durable base for tile and other finishes. Its composition of cement and reinforcing fibers makes it resistant to water damage, unlike traditional drywall. Proper installation of cement board ensures a long-lasting, moisture-resistant surface that can withstand the rigors of daily use. This installation process involves carefully measuring, cutting, and securing the boards with appropriate fasteners, followed by sealing the joints with fiberglass mesh tape and thin-set mortar. This meticulous approach not only enhances the structural integrity of the installation but also prevents issues like mold growth and tile cracking, which can lead to costly repairs down the line.
Benefits of Cement Board Installation
-
Enhanced Moisture Resistance
Cement board offers superior moisture resistance compared to other materials, making it an ideal choice for wet areas. This property helps prevent water infiltration that can lead to mold and mildew, ensuring the longevity of your tile installations. -
Robust Durability
The composition of cement board provides exceptional durability, supporting heavy tiles and withstanding impact without damage. This makes it a reliable choice for high-traffic areas, maintaining its integrity over time even under stress. -
Improved Tile Adhesion
Cement board provides a strong and stable surface for tile adhesion, reducing the risk of tiles loosening or cracking. Its rough texture allows thin-set mortar to bond more effectively, ensuring a secure and lasting tile installation.
