SUBSCRIBE Learn how tile the right way
Cement backer boards have been a popular choice for showers for a very long time, and are probably still the most common type of board installed in a shower stall or tub area. But are they the right choice or even the best choice? Should they be installed in a wet area without additional steps to ensure a watertight surface for the shower? Are foam boards like Schluter Kerdi-Board, or Wedi or some other foam board a better more modern solution to use?Shower stalls are probably the wettest area in a home, the right products and installation methods have to be used to ensure that water does not leak from the shower into wall cavities, or through the floor or anywhere else. This is a problem that occurs way too often and there is no reason why it should happen if the correct materials are used in conjunction with proper methods and standards. In this video I look at several types of backer boards and how they handel water penetrating into the board, how waterproof they are. This is a simple test, unscientific, but I think it does demonstrate the importance of proper material selection and the advancements in the industry, also that modern materials like waterproof foam boards might be a better choice.
