Hello,
Remodeling a bathroom and using a contractor. He's a general and he's going to do the tile install since he's cheaper than the tile guy. The tub is installed with 3 walls surrounding. They've put up green board around the tub and then his plan is to install wonderboard 6' above the tub and then tile on top of that. Bullnose to cover the wonderboard. I was at Home Depot today looking to see what kind of tile they had and explaining the job to a guy there. He said that install method was not to code and problematic. Condensation can happen behind the greenboard and rot it out. He said the proper way to do it was no green board and just use backerboard against the studs (same as wonderboard?) and tile on that. Been looking around the net and have seen sites showing both of these install methods? Any advice. Been seeing info on using a membrane or waterproof felt. Should that be used in either of these methods? Thanks. |
