As a bathroom home remodeling contractor, I have been renovating bathrooms for over 30 years now. Over the years I have seen many beautifully tiled bathtub areas and shower walls fall apart due to poor materials such as drywall for the backer board material for tile setting. Drywall is not a material that is designed for tile setting, as drywall becomes moist and damp it will lose the ability to hold their tiles in which they are set upon in a very short time frame. Years ago bathtub, shower walls and floors were made up of two or three inch built up cement with wire. Today we have cement with fiberglass mesh sheet materials specifically designed for tile setting bonding while being impervious to moisture and water rot deterioration. If these cement sheet materials are used on bathroom walls, shower areas, flooring or anywhere water or dampness may become a problem, you should expect your tile project to withstand the test of time for many, many years.
