╖The homogeneous core
(translating into fewer voids) also helps to produce one of the easiest and cleanest, score and snaps in the industry.
╖PermaBase can be cut utilizing a
standard utility knife and a straight edge.á
This is not true for other similar products.
á Because of PermaBaseÆs unique core
composition, little or no additional labor is needed to clean the edge after a
cut, providing significant savings in time and labor.
╖The visible polystyrene beads help make PermaBase the
industryÆs lightest weight and moisture resistant
cement board on the market.á Cement
board with expanded shale or clay (i.e., WonderBoard
or Durock) have voids in the core which absorb water and make the board
heavier and allow for greater moisture
transmission into wall cavity.á
╖PermaBase will not rot,
disintegrate, or swell when exposed to water.
╖PermaBase is impact resistant, extremely durable
and dimensionally stable. It has excellent over all flexural, compressive and
tensile strength characteristics.
╖The core composition
of PermaBase also allows
for cleaner cut outs, again reducing labor.
This isnÆt the case with other like products
that use an expanded shell or whipped clay filler in their core. This type of composition lends itself to rougher cuts,
higher moisture absorption and greater weight fluctuation.á That leads to more labor and inferior job
site working characteristics.
