Tiled Arch Ceiling?


Customer would like tub surround with arched lid 60x32 tiled. Any suggestions on what to use as backer for this? I could bend 1/2" drywall but i dont think a cbu or densesheild(to be used on walls) will work.
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you use a membrane over the drywall idea, it will be just fine.

cough, cough, Kerdi, cough......

There are a lot of bendable tile backers, just do a google search or call your tile wholesaler and ask them.

Permabase bends easily and can be put onto arched ceilings, etc.

Paper, wire and wall mud. Figure out the radius and build a screed. Old school look, requires a old school technique.
