Gut the shower stall down to the studs. You may need to remove the shower pan and ceiling, as well. Do not put down any plastic because this can trap moisture and lead to rotting. Instead, use a product that you can paint on to help prevent moisture.
Choose a vapor barrier to install and introduce according to manufacturer directions. If you fail to install a vapor barrier, you might grow mold and mildew as moisture from your shower escapes through the tiles and into walls. Improperly installed tile and grout can allow water vapor to pass into the space behind.
When installing a vapor barrier on an exterior wall, it may be helpful to seal a plastic vapor barrier to the concrete floor but not all the way up to the top of the ceiling. With insulation improperly installed, or in colder climates, there’s a chance that condensation that forms behind the vapor barrier will cause the framing members to rot.
In order to avoid that possibility, install the vapor barrier with space to spare so that the gap behind the vapor barrier can breathe. Use a roll on product, such as Red Guard. Wedi boards are another option some consider even better than cement board. If you choose a membranous barrier such as Trugard or Kerdi, you can install plain old drywall or you can just install a cement board instead.
Put up a sturdy cement board backer. Putting up cement board is just like putting up drywall. You cut it to fit using a grinder with a diamond bit, and then screw it to the studs. Leave a 1/8″ gap between panels and then a very small space between the shower pan and the bottom of the backer so that the two don’t squeak by rubbing together.

The shower is divided into three parts: shower head, shower tube and shower tray. The good or bad of the shower faucet, the first look at the weight. The shower rod is mostly round in the market. If you want to choose a good choice, try to choose a thick pole, and the wall will be thicker. It will be as heavy as a solid metal stick. The base is used to control the outlet water and adjust the temperature. Generally, the mixing water valve is used to adjust the temperature. Some shower showers are equipped with thermostatic valves. General cold and hot water out of thermostatic valve will automatically match, adjust the temperature, hold the red safety button, adjust the temperature settings counterclockwise, the technology is more mature.

In water taps industry, there are four kinds of general materials, the best copper, stainless steel, zinc and copper, and zinc alloy. Zinc alloy faucets have good physical properties, low melting point, convenient processing and casting, low cost and low cost, and ideal polishing effect. However, there is a fatal defect: lead, and unstable. His chemical characteristic is that parts exposed to water and air will oxidize and fall off. The meaning of the zinc coated copper faucet means that it is a zinc alloy outside, and the inside is copper. The flow of water into the copper body does not pass through the zinc alloy. It is like a large tube outside the tube, which can effectively save the cost.
Stainless steel is also good and bad, not all stainless steel is the same, such as 304 stainless steel and 201 stainless steel. At present, only 304 stainless steel in China is safe. Stainless steel has high physical hardness and is not easy to extend, so the application of stainless steel in general stainless steel kitchen mixer taps is more used. Most of the tubes are made of stainless steel.
Copper is the best material made at faucet, because copper ions have a certain bactericidal effect, which can make the bacteria unable to produce antibodies, so the inner wall of copper waterfaucet will not breed bacteria, which is not comparable to other materials. Among them, H59 copper is the most suitable, lead content is also qualified, H62 copper lead content is less and more corrosion resistant.
