GreenGlass Fiberglass-Faced Tile Backer

GreenGlass®

Tile Backer

GreenGlass tile backer, a fiberglass-faced gypsum board, is a strong, water-resistant substrate for the application of tile in high-moisture, high-humidity commercial and residential environments. Superior for walls, ceilings, shower and tub enclosures, countertops and light flooring, GreenGlass tile backer features a built-in, moisture-blocking coating over naturally mold- and moisture-resistant fiberglass facers laminated to a specially formulated water-resistant core. GreenGlass tile backer also offers a standard-setting minimum of 90% certified recycled gypsum content that can contribute toward credits in multiple green building rating systems.

GreenGlass tile backer has been fire-resistance classified by Underwriters Laboratories, and has been approved for use in multiple fire-resistant assemblies. Below is a list of those systems.

BIM Objects:

We are developing a library of system assemblies incorporating Temple-Inland gypsum board for use in the BIM-based design program Revit. Currently this library includes the following assemblies: U301, U305, U354, U375, U411, U425, U428, U429, V433, U465, G505, G514, L502, L574. (Some with multiple variations.)

If you do not see the design number you need in this list, please contact glennmiller@templeinland.com or ericmarsal@templeinland.com

Note: These drawings are presented for the convenience of the user. Responsibility for the correct use of these assemblies lies with the user. Greater detail is available in Temple-Inland's U.L. Catalog. Or contact your Temple-Inland representative for assistance.

Please refer to local code requirements and the U.L. Fire-Resistance Directory for specific construction details when a fire-rated assembly is required.
