CHARLOTTE, N.C. (January 27, 2020) – National Gypsum Company has introduced a new product in its line of PermaBASE® BRAND cement boards. PermaBASE® WP Waterproof Cement Board™ combines the strength and benefits of PermaBASE with a proprietary waterproofing formulation.

- EdgeTech® Reinforced Edge
- Easier Cut & Faster Install
- Smoother Surface/Stronger Bond
- True 1/2" Thickness
