Switching from drywall to tiled walls can refresh your home, but it starts with planning. Handybeeman guides you through choosing the right room and setup for a stunning result.
Where to Install Tiled Walls
Tiled walls shine in specific spots:
- Bathrooms: Perfect for full walls, showers, or areas prone to mold, like behind sinks and toilets.
- Kitchens: Ideal for backsplashes or full walls to add style and easy cleanup.
Will Your Tiles Get Wet?
The big question: Will water touch your tiled wall?
- No moisture: If the wall stays dry, tiling over standard drywall works fine.
- Wet areas: For showers or sink zones, install a backer board (cement board) first. This waterproof layer shields drywall from moisture, preventing mold and damage.
