RedGard is a brand of waterproofing membrane manufactured by Custom Building Products, a leading company in the construction industry. RedGard is specifically designed to provide waterproofing protection for various surfaces, primarily in wet areas such as bathrooms, showers, kitchens, and other tiled areas.
RedGard comes in liquid form and is applied like paint onto surfaces such as concrete, cement backer board, drywall, plywood, and other common building materials. Once applied, it forms a flexible, waterproof membrane that prevents water from penetrating through to the substrate. This helps to protect the underlying structure from moisture damage, mold, and mildew growth.
Contractors and DIY enthusiasts often use RedGard as part of the preparation process before installing tile or other flooring materials in areas where water exposure is a concern. It provides an extra layer of protection against leaks and moisture infiltration, ensuring the longevity and durability of the finished installation.
