TruGard Vapor-Shield System
A fully bonded, watertight system for showers, tubs, and steam showers. Unlike traditional shower pan liners, the Vapor-Shield membrane is applied directly over the sloped mortar bed, preventing moisture buildup and mold growth.
Why Choose TruGard?
✅ Leak-Proof Design: Overlapping layers ensure long-term water protection.
✅ Redundant Fail-Safes: Inside/outside corner seals, perimeter sealant, and a reinforced floor-to-wall intersection.
✅ Fast & Easy Installation: Reduces labor time compared to traditional methods.
Once installed, your shower is protected against water damage, mold, and mildew—ensuring a low-maintenance, long-lasting waterproofing solution.
