@urbex2007 They will fall off without the backer board.

@saturnianspire I think you should check your monitor colors because it's browns not bright red. I think the whole shower is awesome and creative. I love the bottle window.

His workmanship looks -awesome- though, in my opinion.

Personally, I think his tile job looks awesome, but I think the actual tiles look horrible. Forest green is ugly enough and then to add bright red almost Mexican style borders to it? And no offense to this guy's wife, but the glass whiskey bottle blocks look horrible. Lol. They look exactly like what they are: the glass ends of bottles. And do you really want that garbage in your multiple-thousand dollar tile job/bathroom?

@urbex2007 Epic Fail!

Grout and tile are not waterproof. Why are you misinforming people like this?

Exactly how many bathrooms haw you built?

[urbex2007]

There is absolutely NO NEED for cement board behind the tiles - TILES ARE WATERPROOF! Providing you grout them correctly and you have not damaged the glaze, water can not get on the wall behind. Why put an extra waterproof board behind a waterproof tile??? I used plasterboard & adhesive to level a piece of wall - I can guarantee it is perfectly dry behind the tiles, if it wasn't, the board and tiles would fall off. Save money, don't use backing board, it's also very heavy...

@fireworkstube - The cement board covers the floor and all areas of the wall where there is tile. On the floor, it goes over the subfloor, which is 3/4" plywood. You wouldn't want to use the cement board as the only subflooring.
