DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Johns Manville (JM), a leading manufacturer and marketer of
premium-quality building and specialty products and a Berkshire Hathaway
company, introduced the GoBoard® Point Drain Shower System at the
Coverings 2019 ceramic tile and natural stone trade show last month in
Orlando, Fla. The shower system is a new addition to the GoBoard product
line.
“The GoBoard Point Drain Shower System is easily customizable to fit
basically every shower size and works around existing plumbing,” said
Jeff Newcomer, GoBoard Product Manager. “We have received very positive
feedback from distributors and installers about this new product.”
Like GoBoard Tile Backer, the GoBoard Point Drain Shower System is
lightweight, easy to install and waterproof. The system ensures
compatibility with numerous drain cover brands. Using pre-sloped GoBoard
Wedges, there is no need to wait for specially sized pans. The system
accommodates most shower sizes with centered and off-set drain
locations. In continuing to offer the advantages of being
ultra-lightweight, easy to cut, handle and install – with waterproofing
built-in – the GoBoard Point Drain Shower System is the right choice for
both pros and DIYer’s.
“The GoBoard Point Drain Shower System is the only system where the
shower pan is fabricated on site from oversized GoBoard Wedge panels,”
said JM Research Manager Duane Paradis.
“This greatly expands the flexibility of the GoBoard system versus
competitive solutions, reduces the number of SKUs for distributors and
helps installers complete jobs faster and with fewer trips to job site
and distributor. GoBoard Wedge and Curb are manufactured using the same
process and raw materials as GoBoard, so installers can expect the same
level of performance as GoBoard for walls, ceilings, floors and
countertops.”
At the center of the system is the GoBoard Point Drain kit, which
includes the universal drain cover assembly and pre-assembled drain body
with integrated membrane. The low-profile design of these pieces enables
curb-less installations. The friction fit drain cover riser allows for
height adjustment during tile installation and compatibility with
threaded and non-threaded risers. Surrounding the drain, endless design
configurations are possible with GoBoard Wedges. Using a utility knife,
simply cut to fit. Need a curb design? GoBoard Curb has you covered
there as well.
