The shower area of our loft bathroom has a gabled ceiling. The gable (the angle of the roof, that is) starts at five feet from the bottom of the bathtub. I am doing the shower in ceramic tile.
Is it enough to tile up to just five feet? My guess is that it isn't, not if I don't want to risk moisture problems. Given this, does anyone have any tips for tiling past vertical?
A wrinkle: the previous owners tiled up to about 6.5 feet, about 1.5 feet up the gable. Unfortunately, although they put greenboard behind the shower up to five feet, they simply tiled over the plaster above the start of the gable. Needless to say, when I removed the old tile, the tiles on the plaster came off very easily.
I'm assuming that I should remove the plaster and greenboard it, right? Again, any tips for ensuring that my shower won't be raining tiles?
Thanks.
