        Q:I installed the backerboard where the sticker was on the board, which was the gray side into the shower. So they gray side is facing outward as opposed to the orange side. Does the face of the backer board matter?

        Answer This Question

        A:  Thank you for writing in. You'll need to waterproof the gray side to get the same benefits as having the pink HydroDefense side facing outwards.
