Fiberock
®
underlayment and tile backerboard are
all purpose substrates engineered to meet floor
underlayment and wall tile-backing needs
throughout a home. Under resilient flooring,
Fiberock underlayment provides a hard surface
that’s smooth and flat with no bumps or ridges to
show through or affect finished floor covering.
Behind and under tile or natural stone, Fiberock
tile backerboard provides the resistance to water
and mold that is required in bathrooms, kitchens
and entryways. With Fiberock panels, you can rely
on a single family of products to back all types of
tile and resilient flooring in the home.

Integral Water Resistance
This remarkable family of
products is completely different
from other substrates.
Manufactured with a unique,
proprietary technology, F
iberock
panels feature a durable, water-
resistant composition that
eliminates the swelling and
warping often experienced
with fiber cement, plywood,
oriented strand board (OSB),
lauan and other wood-based
underlayments.
Easy to Install
F
iberock
panels score easily
and snap with minimal effort.
In fact, the International Certified
Floorcovering Installer Association
awarded F
iberock
underlayment
the “Installer Friendly Seal.”
Proven Performance
F
iberock
panels are warranted
for 20 years. They have been
tested by the Tile Council of
North America (TCNA), using the
Robinson Floor Method, and are
approved for residential and light
commercial use (as defined by
TCNA).
Environmentally Friendly
F
iberock
panels are made from
95 percent recycled material.
In recognition of the
environmentally sound alternative
these panels provide, United
States Gypsum Company earned
the Green Cross certificate from
Scientific Certification Systems,
a leading testing company that
evaluates environmental claims.
