The other type of shower panels often used in bathroom renovations come as individual panels that connect together and attach to the wall to form a watertight seal.
How to install bathroom shower wall.
If you wait to install the cut pieces use a notched trowel to scrape the thinset from the wall so it doesn t dry before installation.
Before you start setting tile take some measurements and see how the tiles will all lay out image 1.
How did this project turn out.
Install the backer board.
Save time by setting several tiles at once.
When installing cut pieces apply the thinset to the back of each tile.
In our project we set the tile for the wall opposite the shower door first.
Choose a backer board that s the same thickness as the drywall so you have a seamless transition from one to the other.
You don t need to use a backer board in the entire bathroom just in the wet shower area.
On the ceiling and floor of the shower we used 2 x 2 tiles and on shower walls 2 x 4 tiles.
