I'm rehabing a bathroom. In the process of putting down plywood, then on top of that I intend to put Hardibacker and then the ceramic tile. I pulled out the old tub and am doing that part of the floor along with the rest. I intend to put in a Sterling 30 X 60" shower receptor (model # 72141120). My question is, should I tile the whole floor, then install the shower receptor, or can I put the Hardibacker down, then put some thinset down and install the shower receptor on that, then tile the floor up to the shower receptor. Or, perhaps there is another way you could recommend.
Thank you.
Thank you.
