Um denshield will kinda look like crap if you try to mudd and finish it with paint. Go for the purple board, if I read everything right this is just a tub? Or is it a claw foot with full oval enclosure for shower? If just tub, go with the purple board, USG I think, I dont like the fiber glass mat type of drywall, it finishes funny to me. Maybe you are talking about DensArmor?

This bath Add. is 8"x 16" Large enclosed walk in shower. Will get Mudded pan ,plastic membrane, 30 lb felt on walls and ceiling 1/2" dura rock on walls.

Clawfoof tub with hand held shower is 6" off rock in a nock. Walls only painted.
Thanks' for any more suggestions. Drift

Yes, it should have read DensArmor throughout - I corrected my original post & noted it

Thanks

I guess he will have to put up quite a bit of Denshield too!!

I dont really like the densarmor, I like the purple board National wall board.

SLSTech

National is not sold around here - at least not that I have seen, so thus DensArmour. We all do what we gotta do. If I can find some of the purple board I will have to look into - Thx

If memory serves me the purple board is allowed for ceilings 16"o/c where as you would normally need 5/8". Im a big fan of Denshield and I would use it in place of the durarock in the shower but due to cost I would stick with the XP in the tub area as long as you dont decide to tile later.

Driftwood

I'd tile the tub area, but it's Her call
