Tile To Drywall Transition

ELM

Wondering how you guys deal with backer board to drywall transitions. like when you do a remodel of a bath/shower area and use cement board you can tape and mud the joint but then your tile on the edges has mud/compromised substrate for the tile. I've been cutting the cement board large and skim coating down to the tile. Different ideas?

Thanks

lol...figure out where your tile is going to end, and make sure you end the densheild approx 2 to 3" short of that mark, then you dont have to fill the joint, the tile will cover it.

I use durabond 90 and strait-flex tuff-R. For all seams and inside corners on hardie back I use tuff-R and thinset. It's bullet proof and water proof. Strait-flex approved their tape for this application
