I constantly get two questions or comments about tiling shower or bathtub alcoves. One is about how cement backerboard should be installed in relation to a bathtub or shower base tile flange, also called a "lip." Does the backerboard go over the lip or up to it? The second question is about "taping" the seams of backerboard in a shower with mesh tape and thinset. What is the purpose of that and is it necessary?
