The new way of installing tile is using foam backerboards that are easier to cut, carry, and install than traditional cement backerboards like Hardibacker, Durock, and Wonderboard. But are these expensive, lightweight, and waterproof foam backerboards really worth it? In this video, I show the two most widely used and popular foam backerboards; Schluter Kerdi-Board and Laticrete Hydroban Board. These tile backerboards are on component in a tiled shower system that also includes drains, banding, membrane, and other tile setting materials. Both of these wallboards can be used as part of a lifetime system warranty.
Watch the video to see which one performs best. It will also answer many of the common questions that beginner tilers and DIY'ers have about using these expensive products. Before you buy, I suggest you watch this video!
