140Cement Board ProductsDUROCK Brand Cement Board offers architects, builders and tile contractors a strong, water-durable base for ceramic and stone tile in tuband shower areas. It also serves as an ideal abuse-resistant and fireresistant substrate for veneer plaster in walls, and ceramic tile, quarrytile, lugged tile, thin stone tile, thin brick, glass and ceramic mosaics,or aggregate in both walls and floors.The board is readily applied over load-bearing or nonload-bearing woodor steel framing to produce extraordinary, high-performance systems.A panel product, DUROCK Brand Cement Board is formed in a continuous process that consists of an aggregated portland cement core reinforced with polymer-coated, glass-fiber mesh embedded in both surfaces and wrapped around the edges. Its composition also makes itnoncombustible and dimensionally stable.DUROCK Brand Cement Board products are highly versatile. In additionto interior applications, panels are available for exterior applicationssuch as fences, mobile home skirting, agricultural buildings, wallshields, floor protectors, exterior chimneys and garage wainscot, toname a few. See Chapter 6 for veneer plaster applications over DUROCKBrand Cement Board.Various organizations provide information about recommended standardsor tolerances for installation of cement board systems. See pages 435 and442 in the Appendix for information about standards and tolerances.For instructions on the safe use of cement board and related products,see Chapter 13, Safety Considerations, Material Handling.Cement Board Sizes(1) and PackagingTypeThicknessWidthLengthsShipping Units(2)Cement Board12.7 mm (1/2 )12.7 mm (1/2 )12.7 mm (1/2 )12.7 mm (1/2 )15.9 mm (5/8 )8 mm (5/16 )8 mm (5/16 )810 mm (32 )915 mm (3 )915 mm (3 )1220 mm (4 )1220 mm (4 )1220 mm (4 )915 mm (3 )1525 mm (5 )1220, 1524, 1829 mm (4 , 5 , 6 )2440 mm (8 )2440 mm (8 )2440 mm (8 )1220 mm (4 )1525 mm (5 )50503030244040Underlayment(1) Other lengths available.

Panels are manufacturedin three widths for minimum cutting and easy handling and installation.
Cement Board Construction141Use larger panel sizes for larger projects such as commercial kitchensand gang showers. Smaller panels are designed to fit typical tub andshower enclosures. Also UL/ULC-listed as a wall shield and floor protector for room heaters and stoves.DUROCK Brand Cement Board exceeds the ANSI Standards for cementitious backer units (CBU). See ANSI A 118.9 for Test Methods andSpecifications for CBU; and ANSI A 118.9 for Interior Installation of CBU.The ASTM designation for DUROCK Brand Cement Board is C1325. SeeNational Evaluation Service Reports No. 259 and No. 396 for fire-resistantdesigns and/or conditions of use. Reports are subject to re-examination,revisions and possible changes. All DUROCK Brand Cement Board Productsmeet ASTM Standard E136 for noncombustibility. UL listed 34L2.DUROCK BrandCement BoardLimitations1. Steel framing must be 20-ga. or heavier.2. Systems using DUROCK Brand Exterior Cement Board are designed forpositive or negative uniform loads of up to 2.4 kPa (50 psf) with studsspaced max. 400 mm (16 ) o.c.3. Maximum stud spacing: 400 mm (16 ) o.c. (600 mm (24 ) o.c. for cavityshaft wall assembly, requires intermediate adhesive bead); maximumallowable deflection, L/360. Maximum fastener spacing: 200 mm (8 )o.c. for wood and steel framing on floors and walls; 150 mm (6 ) o.c. forceiling applications.4. Maximum dead load for ceiling system is 37 kg/m2 (7.5 psf), includingcement board.5. Do not use drywall screws or drywall nails, as they do not provide adequate holding capacity.6. Not recommended for vinyl flooring.7. 8 mm (5/16 ) thickness should not be used for walls or ceilings.8. Drywall joint compounds must not be used directly over cement boardunless it is properly sealed; see page 153.Note: DUROCK cement board product may also be used in exterior soffits,walls, privacy fences and chimney enclosures. It also has proved to bean excellent substrate for exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) aswell as direct-applied exterior finish systems.DUROCK Brand Underlayment A strong, thin substrate designed for useunder ceramic or thin-cut stone tile floors and countertops. DUROCK BrandUnderlayment is similar in composition to DUROCK Brand Cement Board.Because its primary use is for overlaid ceramic tile floors, it comes in convenient 1220 x 1220 mm (4 x 4 ) panels and is 8 mm (5/16 ) thick. Thisslimmer thickness reduces the variation in level between the ceramic tilefloor and abutting carpet or wood floors. The reduced thickness also eliminates the need to cut down entry doors in threshold applications andallows easier installation of kitchen appliances such as dishwashers. Not4

All DUROCK Brand Screws are madewith a special corrosion resistant coating that is superior to cadmiumplating or zinc. Wafer head design with countersinking ribs allows flushseating while preventing strip-outs. Increased bearing surface providesgreater pull-through resistance. Drywall screws do not provide adequatepull-through resistance and must not be used. For 14 to 20-ga. steelframing, use 32 mm (1-1/4 ) and 41 mm (1-5/8 ) DUROCK Brand SteelScrews. For wood framing, use 32 mm (1-1/4 ), 41 mm (1-5/8 ) or

Tape is 50 mm (2 )-wide,polymer-coated, open glass-fiber mesh. Packaging: 50 mm (2 ) (nom.)x 15 m (50 ) rolls; 20 rolls per carton.Adhesives, Mortars and Grout Use only adhesive products compatible with alkaline or portland cement-based substrates. Multipurposeadhesive for subfloor attachment to framing must meet ASTM C55773; ceramic tile adhesive must be Type I, meeting ANSI A136.1;dry-set mortar mixed with acrylic latex additive must meet ANSIA118.1; latex portland cement mortar must meet ANSI A118.4; andgrout must meet ANSI A118.6.Job Preparation and Design ConsiderationsEstimatingEstimate material requirements for DUROCK Brand Cement Board applicationsin much the same manner used for estimating gypsum drywall applications. There are, however, certain important differences.Measure surface area “solid,” ignoring cutouts for doors and windows.Use 12.7 mm (1/2 ) or 15.9 mm (5/8 ) DUROCK Brand Cement Board asnecessary to match adjacent gypsum panel thickness. Both panel thicknesses may be used for wall and ceiling applications. 15.9 mm (5/8 )DUROCK Brand Cement Board may be substituted for 12.7 mm (1/2 )DUROCK Brand Cement Board to meet surface dimension requirementswithout affecting the fire-rated performance of fire-rated assemblies thatcall for 12.7 mm (1/2 ) DUROCK Brand Cement Board.Fastener spacing requirements are 200 mm (8 ) for walls and floors and150 mm (6 ) for ceilings—considerably more frequent than for drywallconstruction. Plan for fasteners accordingly. Average usage—1,600pcs./100 m2 (1,000 sq. ft.)A water barrier, not a vapor retarder, may be required behind cementboard in many applications. Water barrier must be Grade D buildingpaper, No. 15 asphalt felt or equivalent. Ensure that total squarefootage of water barrier exceeds total square footage of cement boardto take into account material overlaps required to prevent moisturepenetration.To estimate quantities of mortars, grouts and adhesives, consult packaging and coverage information for those products.4
144EnvironmentalConditionsAll materials should be delivered and stored in their original unopenedpackages and stored in an enclosed shelter providing protection fromdamage and exposure to the elements. Even though the stability anddurability of DUROCK Brand Cement Board is unaffected by the elements, moisture and temperature variations may have an effect on thebonding effectiveness of basecoats and adhesives.Various humidity and temperature conditions may require a vaporretarder. A qualified engineer should be consulted to determine theproper location of the retarder to prevent moisture condensation within the wall.Control JointsCertain interior wall surface constructions should be isolated with surfacecontrol joints (sometimes referred to by the industry as expansion joints)or other means where: (a) a wall abuts a structural element or dissimilarwall or ceiling; (b) construction changes within the plane of the wall; (c)tile and thin brick surfaces exceed 4880 mm (16 ) in either direction.Surface control joint width should comply with architectural specifications. Location and design of building control joints must be detailed bya professional architect. Steel framing at building control joints thatextend through the wall (with top and bottom runner tracks broken)should have 38 mm (1-1/2 ) cold-rolled channel alignment stabilizersspaced a maximum of 1525 mm (5 0 ) o.c. vertically. Channels shouldbe placed through holes in the stud web of the first two adjacent studson both sides of the joint and securely attached to the first adjacent studon either side of the joint. (See DUROCK Brand Cement Board Systemspublication SA932 for further information.)Cement board should be separated at all surface and building controljoints. Where vertical and horizontal joints intersect, the vertical jointshould be continuous and the horizontal joint should abut it. Splices,terminals, and intersections should be caulked with a sealant complying with architectural specifications and sealant manufacturer recommendations. Do not apply tile or finishes over caulked, sealed expansion joints.High MoistureAreasPool Enclosures Cement board systems may be used for the wallsand ceilings around indoor swimming pools. In areas of high moistureand chlorine content, adequate consideration should be given for ventilation to protect against deterioration of metal hangers and framingmembers.Steam Rooms and Saunas Where temperatures exceed 49 C(120 F) for extended periods, use dry-set or latex-portland cementmortar; do not use organic adhesive.Leaching andEfflorescenceLatex leaching and efflorescence are natural phenomena which occurwith the use of latex modified mortars and grouts through no fault inthe products. To help protect against their occurrence, follow currentmanufacturer guidelines and recommendations.

(Mix four parts adhesive withone part water.) Embed CGC Brand Joint Tape over joints and treatfasteners with SHEETROCK Brand Setting-Type Joint Compound(DURABOND 45 or 90) applied in a conventional manner. Flat trowelSHEETROCK Brand Setting-Type Joint Compound over board to cover fasteners and fill voids to a smooth surface. Finish joints with at least twocoats of SHEETROCK Brand Ready-Mixed Joint Compound. Do not applyready-mixed or setting-type joint compound over unsealed board.Panel SurfacingInstall tile or thin brick and grout in accordance with ANSI A108.4 forType I organic adhesive or ANSI A108.5 for dry-set or latex portlandcement mortar and ANSI A108.10 for grouts. Before tile applicationbegins, the moisture content of the DUROCK Brand Cement Boardshould be allowed to adjust as closely as possible to the level it willreach in service. Avoid extreme changes in environmental conditionsduring the curing of the tile setting material. Provide adequate ventilation to carry off excess moisture. Note: DUROCK Brand Cement Boardused in floor-protector applications will still perform its protective function unfinished, so long as the integrity of the board surface is not compromised.Abuse-ResistantWallsIn addition to its use as a moisture-resistant backing for interior ceramictile, DUROCK Brand Cement Board has also become a suitable substratefor veneer plaster to produce rugged, fire-rated, abuse resistant walls.The extraordinary strength and durability of DUROCK
