Hi All,

I am sure this has asked and answered a thousand times, but I couldn't find it. Also the search engine on this site is not very good.

Anyway, I am finishing a Full bath in my basement. I am using a one piece shower/tub. What drywall is recommended? Green above the one piece surround and Regular the rest? Green on ceiling? OR Regular Drywall throughout?

Also, any thoughts on Vinyl Corner bead? It looks easy to use. Any install hints?

Thanks

Green board is no longer recommended by the manufacturer for tub and shower surrounds(too many mold problems).

Here is one recommended substitute....
