This project assumes your old shower surround or bathtub has been removed and that you are renovating your tub or shower alcove with panels that connect together.
How to install bathroom shower wall.
How did this project turn out.
Save time by setting several tiles at once.
On the ceiling and floor of the shower we used 2 x 2 tiles and on shower walls 2 x 4 tiles.
Choose a backer board that s the same thickness as the drywall so you have a seamless transition from one to the other.
Install the backer board.
In our project we set the tile for the wall opposite the shower door first.
The other type of shower panels often used in bathroom renovations come as individual panels that connect together and attach to the wall to form a watertight seal.
If you wait to install the cut pieces use a notched trowel to scrape the thinset from the wall so it doesn t dry before installation.
Install full piece tiles first and fill in with cut pieces as you go or install them at the end.
You don t need to use a backer board in the entire bathroom just in the wet shower area.
