hello, it's been a while since I last posted and I need some opinions for a remodel.
I have a small L shaped bathroom. Bottom of the "L" will be the stand alone shower that I would like to use the Kerdi system in.
The rest of the rest of the "L" will have a slipper tub, toilet & vanity. I have a pretty good fan (brand new) properly ventilated through the roof in the middle of the room to help remove moisture.
I woul like to tile the shower completely, and the bathroom would have 1/2 wall tiling all around.
My questions are:
1) Can I use sheetrock throughout the bathroom, or should I consider CBU in any place?
2) Should I use a vapor barrier on the 'internal' walls? The exterior wall already has it in place.
3) In the shower when the sheetrock is in place, before the kerdi system is installed, is it necessary to mud & tape?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
