My G.C. has put up walls in the bathtub/shower that are meant to be tiled over. I want to make sure this is the correct surface. It is not a shower stall, but a bathtub with tile walls.
Two of the walls are wood stud walls with fiberglass insulation in between, and the longer wall behind the tub is a brick wall. It is an old building, and the brick wall is slightly out of level, so the carpenter put up 2x2" metal studs to level that wall, then fastened the sheet-rocked onto the metal studs.
The carpenter has put up a light green board that is labeled:
SHEETROCK (R) Brand W/R FIRECODE (R) TYPE X GYPSUM PANEL
Is this a proper and sufficient surface to apply tile to in a bath/shower area?
What should be done to a wall in a bathroom in order to properly prepare it for receiving tile?
Thank you for any advice.
