Backer Board Fasteners

Backer Board Screws, Washers & Fastening Systems

Backer board fasteners are used to secure foam board, cement board, and waterproof building panels to wood or metal framing before waterproofing and tile installation. This collection includes backer board screws, washers, self-drilling fasteners, and fastening kits used for shower walls, floor tile underlayment, wall tile installations, and waterproof tile assemblies.

These fastening systems are commonly used with foam backer board and waterproof building panels in residential and commercial tile installations where stable panel attachment and moisture-resistant fastening are important.

Types of Backer Board Fasteners

• Backer Board Screws: Corrosion-resistant screws designed for fastening tile backer board to wood or metal framing.
• Self-Drilling Fasteners: Fasteners designed for metal stud installations where drilling through metal framing is required.
• Washers: Used to increase holding surface area and help reduce pull-through during panel installation.
• Fastening Kits: Combined screw and washer kits designed for foam board and waterproof building panel installation.

Fasteners for Wet Areas & Showers

Corrosion-resistant backer board screws and washers are commonly used in showers, tub surrounds, steam rooms, and other wet-area tile installations where waterproof backer board systems are installed.

Selecting the Right Backer Board Fastener

Selecting the correct fastener depends on framing type, panel thickness, substrate material, moisture exposure, and manufacturer installation requirements. Proper fastener spacing and compatible fastening systems help support secure panel installation prior to tile and waterproofing applications.
