GoBoard® Seam Fabric is a lightweight, durable polyester non-woven fabric engineered for professional contractors and tile installers using GoBoard systems. This seam reinforcement fabric increases joint tensile strength and significantly improves adhesion between GoBoard® Pro Sealant and thin set mortars, helping you complete tile installations faster without waiting for sealant to dry.
Key Features & Benefits of GoBoard® Seam Fabric
- Alkali Resistant Fabric: Resists degradation from alkaline materials to ensure long-lasting joint protection.
- Enhanced Shear Bond Strength: Increases bond strength by over 30% for secure tile adhesion.
- Superior Joint Tensile Strength: Boosts joint strength by more than 50%, minimizing cracks and failures.
- Faster Tile Installation: Eliminates wait time by allowing tiling to start immediately after sealant application.
