Hi all, working on a bathroom remodel and was wondering what the norm is when it comes to hanging up the cement board for shower walls. my question is if you have to overlap the shower pan flange or can i have my cement board flush with the flange. I'm hoping i can have it flush because furring out the wall would really mess up my design plans. cant i just basically set the cement board on top of the flange but leave a tiny gap for expansion and just silicone the gap? thank you. if i do it this way, i would extend the tile past the cement board and into the pan.
