BACKERBOARD/DRYWALL Transition Tile Shower Wall

Oh what type of liquid waterproofing did you use??😊

I think it would be helpful if you explained one of the most frustrating things for the average tile guy (who watches your video and buys most of his materials from big box stores) is the "Nominal sizing" of tile backer board. Unless you know what you're doing, buying a 1/2" backer board will get you only a 3/8" thick product. That will NOT mate up well with 1/2" drywall. In this video, yours seems to mate just fine, so either you're using actual 1/2" backer board or 3/8" drywall....
Unless you really know about this, you can get into a bunch of problems when tiling from backer board to drywall on ONE PLANE. The best approach is to make sure you purchase ACTUAL 1/2" thick backer board for the surfaces that must meet up with 1/2" drywall. I've not found box stores in my area carrying actual sizes. I can only get it at pro suppliers....where you may be buying yours......but, your videos are for non-pros.
The time to know this is BEFORE you get to the job with a load of materials that will cause you a headache.

You’re a gift to all of us that we trying to become better on what we do
Thank you coach and god bless

About to tackle my shower. Do I hang the hardy board before I tackle the mud pan?

I don't know if there are any videos that answer my situation. I have two showers that are back to back then the one side of both showers are up against the wall to the kitchen then the dinning room. The studs on both showers are dry rotted. So do I have to remove the sheet rock in the dining and kitchen to replace the studs? Probably have to do the sill as well.

drywall it all, then kerdi. easy

I just extended it beyond the shower by a foot or so. 4’ board for a less than 3’ corner shower. Then I covered that 1 feet outside with mud, merging it with the drywall, and painted it over.

What about the ceiling, gow to transition that. Just joint mesh tape and mud???

when to use perma base or kerdi?

I’m watching the guys do my bathroom remodel and there is a half inch of space between the drywall and ceiling. Is that okay?

Great video learned a lot thank you

I've just used regular thinset and it's quite annoying with how gritty it is, as it messes with your final drywall texturing, so the multi-max lite is a great tip!

What if you just used waterproof paint on the cement board? Would you need the tile?

why dont you use laticrete 254 as your thinset when applying kerdi or laticrete sheet membrane? its rated for underwater applications. wouldnt this be better than multimax light or schluter allset if the goal is to waterproof after all. ALSO CAN I apply hyddroban cemetitious directly on drywall (my bathroom ceilings are done in drywall, my showers are steam showers, you think i could just waterproof there with hydroban cementitious directly over primed drywall shower ceiling?

Can you tell me what’s your favorite shower wall board? What do you use with customers currently? Thank you! Jerry

How do you do the outside corner 90 where drywall and cement board meet?

Water damage baseboards at curb, like the dripedge out side curb

What about the ceiling? most ceilings are 5/8 per code but most stores only carry 1/2.

This is the most under talked about topic

what do you use on the ceiling? cement board or hydro ban board? will tile the ceiling but looking at studs now.

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and taking the time to make this videos. Fish tacos on me when ypur in LA. 🤛✌️

very good.. thanks

what are you making your curb out of with this system?

Why not just run the backerboard out past the curb to the corner (covering the entire area you are using are using the purple drywall to cover)? I redid a shower with a contractor I know 11 years ago. He just used drywall mud to coat the Durock backerboard where the drywall would have normally gone. The result was that you can't even tell where the backerboard is. It is finished and textured like the rest of the bathroom drywall, and you'd never know it was Durock. It has lasted perfectly well all of these years. It resulted in fewer joints, and the Durock is not subject to damage if water somehow gets beyond the curb.

Is there any scenario in which the thin-set, mesh tape, and aquadefense would extend 2-3 inches PAST the tile onto the finished wall? I ask because that's how my shower was tiled, and the tilers are telling me to skim the area with joint compound and paint it. However, the drywall was newly installed and painted days before they started. I'm not sure if there was a reason to do it like this, or if the tilers just misjudged how far they planned to bring the tile and I should be asking them to fix it..

Do you use same method for transition to cement board to drywall on ceiling? Mesh tape/thin set?

Great tip on adding a stud where the shower door will attach. Unfortunately, I have a drain/vent pipe on one side, but this will definitely help.

does it have to be a 2x6 to screw into for the shower door? could you use a 1x6?

I noticed that you installed the alkali-resrstant mesh tape on the joints without putting the modified thinset mortar on the perma base first, is there a reason for this? I ask because perma base says to put the modified thinset mortar on the perma base first then embed the alkali-resrstant mesh tape then apply the modified thinset mortar over that.

I'm building a chilled wine wall that I will put tile on the wall for an accent wall; it will be enclosed with a glass-enclosed. I will be insulating the wall with R19 or better. Q - should I just use backerboard or do I need to combine backer with greenboard due to moisture

Use drywall mud and topical waterproofing over the seam

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

would backer board and say a red guard or hydro ban be better than the new foam products? I seen a lot of the videos you did on how some foam products can fail even if installed correctly. Seems like backer board would give more strength as well.

I'm trying coil roofing nailer to fasten down my hardi backer board,I can't see them backing out or giving out,I'll mix my mud a little wetter ,I'm trying to save time and this seems logical,,,,Any feed back would be appreciated, I plan on using a ton of nails as well !

Can you use purple drywall blasted with 3 coats of red guard for a walk in shower that’ll be tiled

Is the Sheetrock waterproof?

Thank you

Great video! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Forget the transition, just tile the entire bathroom 😆

How would you do that if it was a out side corner

Tile Coach thanks for your videos. I’ve been doing granite countertops and showers and floors for 25 years. Now that I own my own business I’m trying to reconfigure products that last and help save money. My main question is have you used the James hardie backer with the hydro defense. If so what is your take on it.

What do you guys think? There's Kerdi Board and PermaBase Cement Board. Outside the cost different what is the board of choice? Decisions decisions! Thank you to anyone wanting to help

I am going to add a small bathroom in an existing bedroom. I'm hesitant to remove the ceiling drywall because of the insulation that was blown in. Will it work if I just put green board over the ceiling drywall? Thank you

How do you tape corners?

Thanks

What size or thickness of cement board do I use on my shower walls and do I need to seal them

How do you handle transition from to drywall at an outside corner

Is it ready for tile or needs the water proof paint

Hate it when strangers say they love me.

Master class!!
