A Non-Gypsum Waterproof Drywall Replacement System for Flood-Prone Areas
The EnduraFlood RAILI-HOLD/58 is a waterproof 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 mounting materials that can trap moisture and promote mold growth, RAILI-HOLD/58 is made from a durable, waterproof inorganic polymer composite that will not absorb water, swell, deteriorate, or support mold growth.
Designed specifically as part of the EnduraFlood waterproof drywall system, this mounting trim creates a secure vertical transition between 5/8" gypsum drywall above and waterproof ENDU-BOARD panels below, while serving as a base onto which CHAIR-RAIL/A or similar decorative chair rail trims are clipped.
Why Choose RAILI-HOLD/58 Instead of Traditional Mounting Trim?
Standard mounting and 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. RAILI-HOLD/58 offers a true waterproof mounting trim solution designed for:
- Basements
- Coastal homes
- Flood zones
- Hurricane-prone regions
- Post-disaster rebuilding projects
Because it is made from a waterproof inorganic polymer composite, RAILI-HOLD/58 will not deteriorate after direct water exposure. After a flood event, the trim remains intact and supports easy panel removal for drying and inspection.

EnduraFlood RAILI-HOLD/58, 95" long
RAILI-HOLD/58 is stapled to wooden studs with a common staple gun, using 3/8" crown staples of 3/8" length. Once mounted, ENDU-BOARD panels are snapped into place from underneath.
CHAIR-RAIL/A is snapped in behind RAILI-HOLD/58 for a snug fit. The ENDURA-BOARD panels can be removed and reused if needed in the future.
