Re: Cement Board, Hardiebacker, Durock. Personally, I prefer the Hardi - I used both several times. When I did my outdoor kitchen cabinets I used Durock over steel studs along with the recommended screws -had a serious problem getting the screws to start straight and drive flush without chewing an egg shapped hole, I ended up predrilling. PermaBaseĀ® Cement Board. PermaBaseĀ® BRAND Cement Board is a rigid substrate made of Portland cement, aggregate and glass mesh that provides an exceptionally hard, durable surface that is able to withstand prolonged exposure to moisture.
. The tapered, doubled-wrapped edge design allows for closer nail or screw application to the edge. Highly moisture-resistant, will not rot, disintegrate or swell when exposed to water. Can be cut utilizing a standard utility knife and straight edge; no additional labor is needed to clean the edge after a cut. Impact-resistant panel. Cement board panels are extremely durable.
Smoother finish than other brands and has no open edges, which reduces hand chafing. Dimensionally stable. Suitable for interior and exterior applications. GREENGUARDĀ® Gold Certified for indoor air quality.
