Has anyone ever used this stuff? We need to replace the surround for our garden tub and I was thinking of using this. Thanks.
Hi Tricky,
Since alot of products have similar names could you post us a link to what you are talking about? Certainly you will get responses then.
Happy Holidays,
Yanita

Is this the hard plastic wall covering board that looks like ceramic tile? If so, I didn't know it was still around. I used to have it many years ago but in a stick-built. Who sells it?

Are you talking about Hardi-backer or that paneling that looks like tile?
Hardi-backer is a Brand Name that they use when installing ceramic tile. The Mortar thinks the Hardi-backer is concrete. Because Mortar does not like to stick to wood.
If you are considering putting ceramic tile around a tub / jacuzzi
go ahead and hire a professional. You will not like paying the money at first, but years later you will appreciate that it still looks good and don't leak.

Tileboard is a Masonite type product. The product labeled Tileboard comes in 4x8 sheets. For a full sized (height) surround, you would end up with a seam at 4'. For a bath with no shower, you could run a 4' tall or less wall without a seam.
Masonite is basically the same thing as Formica, only made under a lot less pressure and with less durable top layer. It is basically layers of paper and resins molded under pressure.
This is basically the least expensive way to make your own bath surround. As surrounds go, they are not very durable but can work for some people. It really is a "you get what you pay for" type of thing. An ABS surround is better, a fiberglass is even more durable and stronger and then you could look at Corian or other sheet products that can cost some serious money.
