Hey all,
I'm in the middle of total bathroom remodel of a 1917 house in the Cleveland area. I have the bathroom down to the studs and I need to build a shower surround that will be tiled. The back wall of the shower/tub surround is an exterior wall. Here's what I'm thinking...
1. Install 6mm plastic over the studs. I was thinking of 15lb paper, but I've since read that plastic is more appropriate for an exterior wall.
2. Install Durock
3. Roll on waterproof membrane.
4. Tile/Grout
Your thoughts?
Thanks!
