what kind of wall do you need to go around a bathtub
Do You Drywall Behind Tub & Shower Enclosures? Drywall extends over the nailing flange to the lip of a fiberglass tub. Fiberglass and acrylic tub and shower enclosures come with a flanged edge that attaches directly to the wall studs, and the proper way to hide this flange is to install drywall over it. Consequently, enclosures are typically installed on the bare studs.
