Yes, you can install tile backsplash directly on drywall in areas not exposed to excessive moisture, like kitchen backsplashes. However, for moisture-prone areas such as behind sinks or in bathrooms, using a moisture-resistant backer board is advisable to ensure long-lasting durability and prevent potential damage. Proper surface preparation is crucial; clean the drywall thoroughly, and ensure it is smooth and dust-free for a successful installation. Taking these precautions will help maintain the integrity and appearance of your tile backsplash over time. Consider using waterproof epoxy based thin set, and epoxy grout by Litokol for an added layer of moisture protection.
