Aqua Shield Waterproofing Membrane

The quality of your workmanship says a lot about you. So, when deciding if you should waterproof your shower before tiling, the answer is emphatically YES! But how can you do that if all the products you are using only "resist" water? Hardie board, green board, water-resistant grout sealer, ceramic tile and even mortar will only "resist" water.

This means, over time water WILL seep down to your sub-floor/ frame causing it to rot.
Rotting Shower Floor

It is applied with a thin layer of thin-set to your backer-board or shower pan  and designed to allow you to apply your tile right to it with the very same thin-set. In addition, this innovative vapor barrier is mold-resistant and won't break down from strong chemicals.
