A Non-Gypsum Waterproof Drywall Replacement System for Flood-Prone Areas
The EnduraFlood MERTI-COR/O is a decorative outside corner mounting trim engineered for use with the EnduraFlood flood-resistant wall system in areas exposed to flooding, storm surge, and high water conditions. Unlike traditional corner finishing materials that can trap moisture and promote mold growth, MERTI-COR/O is made from brushed aluminum with a decorative finish that will not absorb water, swell, deteriorate, or support mold growth.
 
Designed specifically as part of the EnduraFlood waterproof drywall system, this outside corner trim creates a clean horizontal transition between adjoining ENDU-BOARD panels on both sides of an outside corner, while providing a decorative brushed aluminum accent.
 
Why Choose MERTI-COR/O Instead of Traditional Corner Trim?
Standard corner finishing materials are vulnerable to water damage. Even minimal exposure can result in deterioration, moisture trapping, and conditions that promote mold growth behind the wall. MERTI-COR/O offers a true waterproof outside corner trim solution designed for:
Basements
Coastal homes
Flood zones
Hurricane-prone regions
Post-disaster rebuilding projects
Because it is made from brushed aluminum, MERTI-COR/O will not deteriorate after direct water exposure. After a flood event, the trim remains intact and supports easy panel removal for drying and inspection.
