Can I put marble floor tile on the three walls around bathtub / shower?
November 22nd, 2009 | by admin |We are building a new bathroom with all new walls. I have bought a nice marble floor tile at a great price that I hope to use around the tub and also instead of the apron in the front of the tub. The tub will also have a shower. Can I do this and do you have any suggestions as to what materials to use? Thank you.
They l work fine as long as you put a cement board for a backer material.
A vapor barrier is strongly recommended also.
If you have pure marble you ll have to use an raw edge of the tile as your finish edge, no big deal there since the marble color goes all the way through.
Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL
