If you follow the necessary steps for tiling a shower, you'll be amazed with the attractive professional looking results you'll end up with. It doesn't matter if you're tiling the walls around a tub enclosure, or a walk in shower, tiling a shower or tub surround is a separate process from tiling other bathroom walls. You'll need to follow different procedures for these extremely wet locations, especially in preparing your shower tile substrate.
Step 1 Choose Your Bathroom Shower Tile
Your bathroom shower tile should be chosen in a style that resonates with your spirit, and generates warm feelings. Simply put your shower should feel like your own private retreat or leave where the days cares can be washed away.
Step 2 Install Your Cement Backer board Wall Tile Underlayment
Choosing your bathroom shower tile can be a little bit of a challenge, but a shower enclosure and a tub surround are both wet installations, so before you install your shower tile you'll need to waterproof the walls and the framing underneath by installing cement backer board sheets to your wall studs.
Step 3 Creating a Shower Niche
Making a shower niche is an excellent choice, especially if you're tearing out your old bathroom tile, cement backer board, and whatever else there is in this area of your bathroom wall to the studs.
Tiling A Shower
There are a few major differences to tiling a shower when compared to installing other bathroom wall tile. The first is you install your bathroom shower tile to a cement backerboard tile underlayment, unlike other bathroom wall tile that can be laid directly to drywall.
