Hello Again,
I'm having no luck finding Micore locally.
I decided to just stack up Durock to attain a proper R-value, but upon arriving at Lowe's I was dismayed to discover they only carry it in 3x5, making my 4'x4' with a cut corner front, a pretty difficult shape to attain. Being Sunday, they couldn't even tell me if they could order 4x8, although I'm assuming they can as it has a part number on the website.
Looking online, I found Permabase brand cement board in 4x8 at Home Depot just an hour away. Their website claims an R value of .2 for 1/2" thick Permabase.
Does anyone know if this is an adequate substitute for Durock?
One fear is the weight of it, Home Depot's website claims 99lbs per 4x8 sheet.
Any help would be great.
Cory
