Remodeling a standard tub/shower.
Can I use water resistant drywall with red guard or aqua defense membrane for water proofing? If not, why? I've redone a stand-up shower using sheet rock and aqua defense membrane but the drywall would be easier to work with. As long as the waterproofing membrane is good, what does it matter what's behind it? Tiles are 4x16. I was looking at kerdi-board, but it's very expensive. Thank you.
