⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Home Renovation Contractor
"Used the 10mm Advanced Model for a full bathroom remodel. The fiberglass-reinforced XPS board was a game-changer—lightweight, easy to cut, and held tiles perfectly even in high-humidity areas. No warping, no moisture issues after 5 months. Installation was faster than cement board, and cleanup was a breeze."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Linda Park - Project Manager, Commercial Construction
"We installed the Pro Model (12mm, R-6.5) in a hotel bathroom renovation. The custom dimensions and superior moisture resistance made it ideal for high-traffic, wet environments. Passed all building inspections with flying colors. Thermal performance has already contributed to lower HVAC loads. Will definitely use again on upcoming hospital projects."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Michael Reynolds - Homeowner & DIYer
"I was hesitant to tile my basement bathroom myself, but these blue backer boards made it manageable. Went with the 6mm Base Model—easy to handle and cut with a utility knife. The textured surface really helps with adhesive grip. Only downside: the edges are a bit sharp, so wear gloves. After 4 months, zero issues with moisture or tile movement."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carlos Mendez - Industrial Installer
"Installed the 12mm Pro Model in a food processing plant with constant washdowns. The 100% moisture resistance and FDA compliance were critical for this job. Even under daily high-pressure cleaning, the boards show no signs of degradation. Much lighter than cement board, which reduced labor time by nearly 30%. Worth every penny for industrial-grade reliability."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - Green Building Consultant
"Specified the Advanced Model for a net-zero energy home project. The GREENGUARD certification and 20% improved thermal efficiency from the blue pigment aligned perfectly with our sustainability goals. Clients love that it contributes to energy savings while providing a flawless tile substrate. A rare product that delivers on both performance and environmental standards."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months

Dr. Alan Foster - Building Envelope Consultant
"In over 15 years of moisture and insulation analysis, I’ve seen few backer boards match the performance of this fiberglass-reinforced XPS. Its closed-cell structure and R-6.5 thermal resistance in the Pro Model significantly reduce thermal bridging in wall assemblies. For any project where energy efficiency and long-term durability are priorities, this is now my top recommendation."
Maria Gonzalez - Master Tile Installer
"After using every type of backer board on the market, I can say this XPS board is the easiest to work with. The textured surface eliminates tile slippage, and the consistent thickness ensures a flat tiling surface. Plus, no more heavy lifting like with cement boards. Perfect for both pros and DIYers."
