Easily Install the GoBoard® Point Drain Shower System

DENVER - 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.
GoBoard® Shower System from Johns Manville is a time saving versatile shower system, and it's the right choice for both DIYers and pros.
FAST INSTALLATON: Using GoBoard Point Drain kit and pre-sloped Wedges, there is no need to wait for specially sized pans. Take a break and tile the same day. Grout the next day and the project is done*.
INFINITE DESIGN POSSIBILITIES: The GoBoard Point 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 and Curb. Also, the system is great for curb-less installations.
ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT: Engineered for durability even though it’s ultra-lightweight. The GoBoard Shower System can be installed in residential tile applications.
EASY TO CUT, HANDLE & INSTALL: GoBoard Wedge and GoBoard Curb can be quickly cut right where it’s installed with a basic utility knife without crumbling or disintegrating.
WATERPROOF BUILT-IN: GoBoard Shower System saves time and money because you seal only the board joints and fastener locations for a waterproof tile assembly**.
GOBOARD SHOWER SYSTEM INCLUDES:
GoBoard - ½" or ⅝" panels for walls and ceiling
GoBoard Point Drain Kit - Drain cover assembly, pre-assembled drain, mixing valve seal, pipe collar, clamping collar screws, and a 2” plastic putty knife.

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.
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.
