Questions
How does WaterGuard prevent moisture damage?
WaterGuard creates a physical barrier between drywall and flooring, preventing moisture absorption through capillary action while protecting against spills and maintenance-related water exposure.
Is special training required for WaterGuard installation?
No additional tools or skills are needed. Contractors simply snap the extrusion onto drywall edges before standard installation procedures.
What height options does WaterGuard offer?
We provide three options: standard height for basic moisture protection, 1 3/4-inch Plus for minor flooding defense, and 3 1/2-inch XT for extreme water event protection.
How does WaterGuard affect construction timelines?
Our system eliminates post-installation gap trimming and cleanup requirements, reducing labor hours while maintaining structural integrity throughout the construction process.
Can WaterGuard be used in fire-rated wall assemblies?
Yes. We provide specifications for 1-hour and 2-hour fire-rated walls, including caulk application guidelines for multi-layer installations.
