No it's not a story about Gomer Pyle. We started a bath room remodel in Arlington, VA, and much to our surprise we found a previous remodel effort had used plywood as a backer board. You can see the water stains and possible mold growth.
At FW&D we like to use DUROCK concrete backer board in all tub & shower installations. Concrete backerboard has a solid concrete core and is faced on both sides with fiberglass. It's an ideal underlayment for wet areas like shower walls and bathtub surrounds.
As part of a proper application we tape and mud the joints.If you would like to know more about bath remodeling please contact us.
