I have just installed a new Tub. Its a Basic american standard tub with a 1 inch flange.
I would like to know how to properly install the Vapour Barrier and Cement Board! I am using 6 mil poly and was wondering if I should attach it to the flange with silicone and then have the cement board sit about a 1/4 inch above the flange? Should I then leave this gap between the CB and the flange open so any moisture can flow back into the tub or should I caulk the gap between the CB and flange? Also if I then tile and leave a 1/8 inch gap between the tub and the tile should that then be siliconed?
Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated!!!!
Thanks!!!
