Even with the concrete board or whatever the liner is there to keep it from becoming water logged and having mold grow.

Mortar and tile won't adhere to a liner...

however, how a liner and concrete board are installed make a difference as well.

Don't take this as the final word in shower construction, but here's a link on constructing a shower bed (sloped), and a note about the concrete board

Quote:The General Contractor has installed the cement board leaving a gap between the bottom edge of the board and the liner. This will ensure there is no wicking of moisture up into the backer board.

I'm pretty sure meford would know a bit more about this than myself, but there's lots of stuff on the internet that can help.
