Hi, I am looking for some advice. I am wondering whether to use 'greenboard' or cement backerboard for the ceiling above the fiberglass tub/shower unit in the bathroom my husband and I are remodeling. Our ceilings are only ~6'6" tall, so the ceiling material will get a lot of moisture, maybe even some splashing, though we're both under 5'6" tall . Would greenboard be adequate, or is water*proof* material necessary? If backerboard is the only good option, is it possible to join the seams as would be done with greenboard/drywall to make a decent-looking ceiling? Or could we put a coat of waterproof joint compound over the whole surface of the backerboard?
Also, would you recommend greenboard in general for the bathroom, or is normal drywall adequate everywhere else (walls around sink, toilet, etc)?
Thanks for your advice!!
