Drywall & Backer Board
There are different kinds of materials available for
your wallboards. Among them gypsum wallboard and concrete backer board
are well-admired materials for bathroom walls. Wallboards are easy
to make and provides soft and easy to paint surface. Following are
some useful particulars regarding drywall and backer board.
- Dry walling your bathroom is a good design to have the perfect
water resistant finish. Water resistant dry wall is made out of gypsum,
which is preferred on the shower stall ceilings and around the area
of bathtubs. Drywall is called Greenboard, generally. Green board
is slightly on the costlier side but better than any other waterproof
finish.
- Another best resolution for your bathroom is concrete backer board.
Concrete backer board has a solid concrete hub and is armored with
fiberglass mesh. It's ideal for wet areas like whirlpool decks, shower
walls and bathtub surrounds. Backer board is generally tough to cut
than wallboard. Use a straightedge guide and score a line a few times
using a carbide-blade cutter or a short-bladed utility knife. Crack
the board along the score line and cut any remaining mesh. If the
backer board doesn't quite meet flush with a drywall surface, fur
out behind the backer board with felt strips, or for wider gaps use
wood furring strips.
