CUSTOM's RedGard Becomes First to Pass New Steam Shower Industry Standards
SEAL BEACH, Calif. – May 20, 2014 – Custom® Building Products (www.custombuildingproducts.com/), the leading provider of tile and stone installation systems, announces that its RedGard® Crack Prevention and Waterproofing Membrane has become the tile and stone industry’s first liquid waterproofing membrane to pass new industry standards for steam showers.

RedGard becomes the first membrane of its kind to pass the new ASTM Standard E96 Procedure E to be acceptable for steam showers or steam rooms as noted in the TCNA Handbook Details SR613 and SR614. As a low perm waterproofing membrane for continuous use in these environments, RedGard prevents moisture from intruding into and damaging wall cavities and adjacent spaces.

Offered in a convenient liquid-applied solution, RedGard provides a seamless waterproof barrier that also reduces crack transmission in tile and stone floors. In addition to steam showers, the product is designed for both interior and exterior substrates such as concrete, cement backerboards and exterior-grade plywood.

When RedGard Crack Prevention and Waterproofing Membrane is used as part of a qualifying system of CUSTOM products, the tile installation can qualify for up to a lifetime system warranty that covers the cost of replacing installation materials, tile and labor.
