Wall tiling can craft a perfect shower with affordable and durable Ceramic tiles. The simple cleaning method makes the ceramic tile best for the walls and floors of your shower.
Tiling a shower with ceramic tile has other benefits like prevention from humidity, dust mite growth and fungi. The ceramic tiles, particularly the glazed range provide extra benefits with the guarantee of waterproofing and natural resistance from chemical and biological agents.
For tiling a shower with ceramic tile you need immense arduousness and patience. Your effort and dedication will help finish your work with impressive finesse.
Tiling The Shower Walls
Tiling a shower with ceramic tile requires you to go about the job in a planned manner. The first step is all about laying the foundation for the shower walls. Backerboards, such as WonderBoard or Durock cement board, will be ideal for the walls. Being resistant to water, they will best meet the standards as base for installing ceramic tiles to high-moisture areas.
Backerboards can easily be installed directly on walls and fixed firmly to wall studs and ceiling beams with the help of hot-dipped galvanized nails or galvanized wood screws. Once the backerboards are well set, you need to cover all the joints with fiberglass mesh tape. Apply a coating of latex thin-set or an adhesive mortar before going ahead with installing the ceramic tiles.
