Picture: Curved fireplace hearth & surround tile application! HELP?
My fireplace REALLY needs an update. I had no participation on the exsisting tile. I like the curved shape of the hearth, but I want to replace the painted ceramic tile and replace it with small glass mosaic tile. I have done my research and I’m ready to demo the tile, but I want to know if there is a such thing as a backerboard that I can use for the shape of my hearth and surround. Is there some kind of alternative?
Thank you for your help

You can use , but will have to cut and shape a 1/2" cement board and it can flow together to the dry wall just by over lapping the glass tile on to the dry wall.
Mose common way is to just finish off your dry wall to the chamber and just tile as normal on a primed of finished painted wall..
