If you’re looking for a video about green board or a drywall that has a green paper backing over it and you’re planning on using it as a tile backing for a bathtub or shower, then you are exactly the person I made this video for. I’ve had a lot of problems with this product and at the same time have seen it last for quite some time, but I really don’t recommend do-it-yourselfers using it, without watching this video first.

  • Can across this video looking for something else. Any follow up on this? My first guess is the window has some issues.

  • wow what an idiot who used green board for a shower. cement board like durock is what you are supposed to use for showers. green board is good for bathroom ceilings and bathroom walls not for showers!

  • What kind of material should I use ABOVE a fiberglas tub/shower surround? I don't want to use tiles, but something light. Thanks!

  • Question. I'm replacing the bottom row of tiles (4"x4") in a small shower. My landlord hired some handypeople (who she later fired, which is why I am finishing the job) who started. They put a strip of green board which I assume were planning on tiling over. My question is, do I pull out the green board and cut a few ~6" strips of cement board? Or do I go with it and use water proofing paint on solution/plastic flashing? The green board does not go all the way down to the shower basin nor all the way up to the tiles above it. Probably 1/4 - 1/2" gap on either side. Any advice is appreciated and thank you!

  • my shower white tiles start faking & does not look nice.
    I need professional reasonable guy who can plaster & refacing the shower floor.
    not sure should I replace the chiped tiles or Plaster takes care of the job.
    thank you,
    Audrey

  • Im renting a house but I sit on the shower floor to shave my legs. One daythe wall behind me pushed in a little. Oops. Im not sure how though. Im only 120 pounds. I beleive maybe this is the issue. Now im wondering how do I tell my landlord about this.

  • Well then can you do a video on just what to use? Also what about a small repair instead of having to remove all the existing board? Or is there no way around that?
