GoBoard vs. Cement Board
Shower Install
GoBoard is up to 80-85% lighter than traditional boards. Overall tile installation prep time is reduced because waterproofing is built-in, eliminating extra steps since only board joints and fastener locations need to be sealed.

Remodeled my restroom and decided to use GoBoard after seeing positive relics from other people that have used this product. To my surprise GoBoard was extremely easy to work with and cut down the install time by at least half.

"Fantastic!"
About time someone came out with a good quality backer board for tile showers. Goes up twice as fast as cement board, no mess, no dust. Only requires waterproofing at fasteners and joints, unlike cement board. A little pricey, but 1/2 the cost of Schluter waterproof board.
