Install full piece tiles first and fill in with cut pieces as you go or install them at the end.
How to install bathroom shower wall.
This project assumes your old shower surround or bathtub has been removed and that you are renovating your tub or shower alcove with panels that connect together.
How did this project turn out.
When installing cut pieces apply the thinset to the back of each tile.
Save time by setting several tiles at once.
Install the backer board.
You don t need to use a backer board in the entire bathroom just in the wet shower area.
If you wait to install the cut pieces use a notched trowel to scrape the thinset from the wall so it doesn t dry before installation.
On the ceiling and floor of the shower we used 2 x 2 tiles and on shower walls 2 x 4 tiles.
The other type of shower panels often used in bathroom renovations come as individual panels that connect together and attach to the wall to form a watertight seal.
Choose a backer board that s the same thickness as the drywall so you have a seamless transition from one to the other.
