installing ceramic tile
ceramic floor, when the installer needs to use a wet saw for installing an angle of 45 degrees?
Also make more space between the tabs for installation?
No, you can use a dry diamond blade in a grinder Corner mini cut the tile. You can also view the spaces between them, you do not use spacers
Do I need to remove the plastic shower surround prior to installing ceramic tile on the wall?
Or could I install cement board right on top of it?
Do NOT, under any circumstances, attempt to tile over fiberglass. It expands and contracts with temperature change and this sheer stress will destroy your tile application, no matter how much cement board you install.
Rip out the surround and get to the studs. Apply your greenboard, tape the seams, and– most importantly– WATERPROOF your substrate (Greenboard no longer meets ANSI standards as a stand-alone waterproofing).
Waterproofing membranes are available at every tile dealer and typically apply with a roller right on your greenboard. You can thinset directly over top the dried waterproofing.
With no less that 11 feet of water hitting the average shower wall every year, you want that sucker sealed up tight.
