This bathroom has a shower stall, toilet and sink, no bathtub. It also has the outside facing and garage facing walls tiled – the only two walls forming the shower stall. I plan to use HardieBacker boards on those two walls behind the large ceramic tiles (12x24), and I am wondering still- regardless how many opinions pro and con I have read- if I should use any moisture barrier between the wood, untreated studs and the Hardie planks, and if so, which kind. <br />Please give me an answer that would make sense to an engineer with home remodeling aspirations.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
