Ceramic tiles and Sanitary ware
Many of the currently manufactured backerboards are suitable for a shower installation. In this particular job, we are using a cement backerboard. Please visit our section on showers and tubs for additional information.
The installation covered in this section is new construction. This means that no shower or tub existed in this space prior to this installation. This means that the installer will first have to check the previous trades work to determine if the work was done satisfactorily.Ceramic tiles and Sanitary ware
The first step is exactly that, inspect that the previous work was done properly. Therefore, the installer will first make sure that the plumbing, both drain and in-wall valve assemblies, are at the proper level or placement. Next the installer will check the studs for being positioned properly (16” on-center), plumb, and on-plane with each other. Remember, backerboard will follow whatever the studs are doing. If the studs are not on-plane or plumb, neither will the backerboard.
