About Waterguard
Protecting drywall from the ground up.
Waterguard profiles protect the gypsum edge from floor moisture and provide continuous backing for rubber base. They attach before the board is hung. Choose standard Waterguard for non-fire-rated walls. Pink Waterguard FS protects 1- and 2-hour fire-rated joints under UL BW-S-0078. Choose Waterguard Plus for non-fire-rated walls needing the taller profile.
Our point of view
Protect the edge where drywall meets the floor.
The gap beneath drywall can collect debris and leave wall base without continuous backing. Sealing that gap often adds another trip along the wall after the board is hung.
Waterguard fits onto the board before hanging, so the bottom edge is protected as the wall goes up.
The profile gives rubber base solid backing and replaces separate bottom sealant work in the specified installation.
