Green E-Board™ can be easily installed as a finished wall panel by using the smooth side as a finished wall.

We recommend that you use a good primer as a base coat since it is has an alkaline base and may react to some specialized paints.

• Nails: Use appropriate length galvanized nails for the thickness of the Green E-Board™ and the application
• Screws: Corrosion-resistant bugle head drywall screws or backerboard screws appropriate for the application
• Vapor Barrier when using Green E-Board™ in a wet location
• 2” glass fiber mesh tape for seams
• Standard or Latex Modified Thinset
• If applying Green E-Board™ as the finished wall surface, standard or ecologically friendly drywall finishing materials may be used on the joints

• Tungstine carbide tipped backer board knife or standard utility knife
• Aluminum straight edge or T-ruler
• Commercial grade electric screw-gun with variable clutch and adjustable depth guide

• Place the straightedge on the board and score once using the backer board knife
• Hold the larger piece firmly and put light pressure on the smaller piece until it breaks
• For best results, score the back side before snapping the two pieces apart

• Steel or wood framing should be spaced no greater than 16” o.c. without blocking, 24” o.c. with blocking when using ½” Green E-Board™. Always follow local building codes
• Use a vapor barrier for wet applications
• When using Green E-Board™ as an underlayment use a dry-set or latex-cement mortar to bond Green E-Board™ to sub floor.
• Fasteners should be spaced 6” o.c. for walls and ceilings for both wood and metal framing. Drive fasteners flush with surface.
• Under tile and stone use a 2” 10x10 glass fiber mesh tape embedded in a skim coat of a polymer modified thinset. Caulk or seal joints.
