PrimeSource Building Products, Inc., a leader in building materials distribution, announces the launch of Grip-Rite More, an eco-friendly, magnesium oxysulfate tile backer board and underlayment.

The advanced composition of Grip-Rite More is free from VOCs, quartz silica dust, and other toxic chemicals—making it a healthier choice for installers and occupants alike. Plus, production of Grip-Rite More Backer Board and Underlayment results in 60% less carbon dioxide emissions when compared to traditional portland cement boards.

Grip-Rite More is designed for use as a tile backer board and underlayment in moisture-prone areas for both residential and commercial applications and is ICC-ES certified, ensuring compliance with industry-leading standards. It is fire-resistant with an ASTM E84 Class A Fire Rating, along with exceptional test performance in mold/mildew resistance, shear bond and flexural strength.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Lightweight: Lighter than leading portland cement backer boards.
  • Eco-Friendly: Free from VOCs, quartz silica, and other harmful chemicals
  • Water Resistant: Designed to resist damage and mold growth from long-term water exposure
  • Fire Resistant: Achieves a Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Index of 0
  • Durable: High flexural strength and impact resistance
  • Code Compliant: Meets the latest IBC and IRC standards for building safety and performance

Grip-Rite More is available now through PrimeSource Building Products expansive dealer network, which may be found on grip-rite.com or contact Brett Gerrish at 312-565-0044, ext. 1136 or at bgerrish@agencyinmotion.com.
