We are using 12x12 Glazed tile for shower walls...Which type of adhesive and drywall boards do we use? We are taking everything down that is there now. Thanks.

Duke fan,

It's not that simple. Tell us what method of installation along with how you're gonna waterproof the walls. Also what type of floor you'll be using. Is it a plastic/fiberglass tray, or a tiled shower floor.

Have you researched how to build a shower yet? http://www.ontariotile.com/

We have a neo angle shower there now. We are using an onyx shower pan for the floor. We have just the 2 walls to tile and then are planning on tiling the floor also. I am kind of looking for some direction as to what we need to do so that we don't have to redo it again. Thanks

Basically you'll need to choose a waterproofing method that suits your application and your abilities. Then we can give you better information. Each method requires specific materials, that's why it's best to get information on waterproofing methods first, then choose an appropriate method.
