What Customers Are Saying
This backerboard product received mixed reviews. Many customers found it to be a good quality, waterproof, and durable product that was easy to install. However, a significant number struggled with cutting and fastening the material, reporting it was difficult to score, snap, and screw into place without cracking or delaminating. Some also found the material to be overly heavy and frustrating to work with. Careful preparation and waterproofing are recommended to get the best results.

The material is not very concrete like but I've always used concrete board in prior projects. It was easy to cut and seems sturdy, just hoping it has the same water resistant properties.

Check the product before pickup
My contractor found you gave wrong product. You provided 1/2inch-thick not 1/4inch-thick. Very disappointing.

It took too long for the order to be ready, and I had to come back a second time to pick it up. That was not convenient.

Solid wall material for an indoor-outdoor hallway
I used this board as the actual wall surface in an indoor-outdoor hallway where moisture can be an issue. It felt very sturdy, cut cleanly, and gave me confidence it would hold up better than regular drywall. I finished the edges with joint compound and painted it, and it turned out great.

Worked as advertised
Ordering and delivery went without a hitch. The product worked as advertised and the videos were helpful. This was the 3rd floor we've done with Direct Colors products. We stained about 800 sf of new concrete and it turned out great. We scored the floor before staining in a 16in diagonal pattern with 2 blades in a circular saw set to 1/16" deep.
