You can tile over greenboard sheetrock whether it is in the shower or any other location. To do this, roll on a layer of sealing primer and leave it to dry for 24 hours. After that, you can tile over the greenboard sheetrock in the same manner as you would with any other bathroom tiling.Click to see full answer. Moreover, is it OK to use green board in a shower?It means “Greenboard” can still be used in bathrooms (and other areas), it just cannot be used as a backer for tile in a shower or tub surround. It can be used in areas not subject to direct water exposure (tub/shower surround), and areas of noncontinuous high humidity (bathrooms).One may also ask, where can you use green board? Technically, greenboard and other water-resistant drywall panels can be used in highly wet places. According to ASTM C 1396, Section 7, water-resistant drywall can be used in wet locations such as behind tile in bathtub or shower stalls. Subsequently, question is, should you prime green board before tiling? Greenboard has a waxy surface that makes it difficult to get tiles to adhere to it. One solution is to coat it first in a layer of Kilz or other flat sealing primer, which will stick to the board while providing a suitable surface to hold the tile.Can you install tile on drywall?Sheetrock, or drywall, is no different for tiling over than wood, plaster, cement, or other wall materials. If you are tiling an area that is not in a bathroom, tiles can be applied directly to the sheetrock simply and easily. The wall has to simply be prepared in order to complete this task properly.
