tiling backsplash over 3/8" sheetrock
In my kitchen remodel, I have to use 3/8" sheetrock to match an
existing adjacent wall. I know you can tile over sheetrock, but I was more concerned about the thickness of the sheetrock only being 3/8" and how strong the backsplash would be. Would I have problems? |

No. Unless you try to stand on it or punch it in a fit of pique. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
