What Customers Are Saying
This cement backerboard product received mixed reviews. Many customers found it to be a good quality, waterproof, and durable material that was easy to work with when using the right tools and techniques. However, a significant number struggled with cutting and fastening the boards, reporting they were 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. Overall, the product is capable when used properly, but requires careful handling and the right tools to avoid installation challenges.
