1/2" or 1/4" Durock Cement Board?

Durock 1/4" is made for floors. Either can be used on floors but only 1/2" can be used on walls.

Don't forget you MUST install the cement board in a bed of fresh thinset - ALL manufacturers require it.

You should also be undercutting you jambs and casings to accept the tuck of the cement board and the tile AND the two layers of thinset it will take to install all that stuff.

Undercut saws are cheap and can be found at all home centers.:)

Squeezing and forcing and pinching tiles will only lead to broken tiles in a short time. :yes:
