How do I put green board behind tile AROUNd already installed new shower
valve? the plumber took 3 tiles off to put in new valve. Now I have a
hole/can see through other side! and the tight space makes no room for a
clean cut of green board. need help!

Use backer board instead of sheetrock in shower if your going to tile.

i have a question. just recently my tiles from my bathroom upstairs started
falling. come to find out i have really bad water damage. the drywall came
off like nothing. but the thing im worried about was not the drywall but
the wood paneling to the outside of the house is also damaged. coming off
like sand if touched. there was alot of moisture in between drywall and
wood paneling. would you know how to replace the wood paneling before i go
forth in replacing everything else?

amazing how when you are purchasing a home, you don’t really know what you
are buying. Its very easy to mask things because people usually only care
about their neighborhood being safe and the school system. lol

You could try it and let me know how it turns out, but I would just use
some type of cement fiberboard instead.
gregvancom · September 23, 2014 at 4:22 AM
I’m not a big fan of either one of them, but if I had to choose, I would
use the cement fiberboard. One of the biggest problems I’ve had with using
cement fiberboard for tile is that it can crack in the corners and even
sometimes where the pieces join together, even if they’re taped and
everything is installed to meet the manufacturers installation instructions.

Thanks for the info. It’s not a job I’m contemplating, but I always have
questions, and you always have answers. :o)
gregvancom · September 23, 2014 at 5:44 AM
I hear you there and as always, am glad to be able to steer people away
from things they shouldn’t do or at least shouldn’t do in my opinion.

If you do end up with any problems in the future, feel free to share them
with us. Who knows, you could have invented the next waterproofing system.

why would ANYONE tile over drywall? Green or not?! It’s old school concrete
over lath or nothing….right?!
Misty poplin-dunn · September 23, 2014 at 7:07 AM
So if I am removing tile and green board I need use the cement board if I
want to install a surround?
gregvancom · September 23, 2014 at 7:48 AM
I love it, unless you like stacking tile, because you’re absolutely right
you probably will get another shot at installing it. It’s hard to imagine
how many building material product failures I’ve witnessed in my short
career.
gregvancom · September 23, 2014 at 7:59 AM
I couldn’t agree 100% more and if you’re really looking for an excellent
initial product, it really is the only way to go. The only problem is that
your average construction worker and do-it-yourselfer, would have a
difficult time installing it and that’s where the big money is, making a
product that everyone can use and install, no matter what the consequences
or damage it will create in the future.

Lately the tile industry is pushing water proof membrane systems. A paint
on solution is a product called red guard. And another product called kerdi
which is a rubber sheet material. Both are good if used in accordance to
manufactures directions. Never tile directly over green board unless you
like to stack tile, cause you’ll get another shot at it in a couple of
years or so. lol Owens Corning had a vitreous tile that used silicone grout
and tile and I believed it performed well on greenboard.

You’re welcome and there’s nothing worse than a job half done, especially
when there’s something interesting on television. Just kidding, good luck
with your project and thanks for watching the videos.
Misty poplin-dunn · September 23, 2014 at 10:02 AM
What board would you use then? I read something about rubber board.
gregvancom · September 23, 2014 at 10:57 AM
You can use a concrete-based fiberboard product as a tile backing board or
do it the old-fashioned way and use lath and plaster. Lath and plaster
would be the same process as stuccoing the exterior of a building, without
the finish coat. However, the concrete-based fiber boards have been known
to create cracks in the corners and I’ve seen this more than once. I
recommend the lath and plaster, for long-term durability.

Green board is garbage. If you spend a few more dollars you can get
completely water resistant cement board. It’s heavy, but worth the minor
investment.
YY4Me133 · September 23, 2014 at 12:03 PM
You said most contractors don’t use greenboard drywall behind tile anymore,
but you didn’t say what’s uses in its place.
Sesa C · September 23, 2014 at 12:21 PM
thank you for this info as having to figure out what to do with a job thats
1/2 done already and left unfinished. At least there is something that can
be added to help. Not sure if tiling but nice to have better options.
lvlagnetoTwo · September 23, 2014 at 1:15 PM
I had my bathroom covered entirely with cement board, and then skim coated
where clean wall would be revealed above tile. The crew thought I was
nuts.. but according to your video, I am not nuts. Better safe than sorry!
gregvancom · September 23, 2014 at 1:31 PM
I can argue with that and you’re probably going to be happier in the long
run. Good job.
