I moved into a new build house and realised that unlike the showhome, there isn't much tiling.
This is what the bathroom looks like (see pics).
1. Firstly, how do i know if the walls are drywall or cement board? Sound while tapping seem similar. Will the pin prick test be different for these two types?
2. I am also open to putting acrylic splashbacks instead of tiles. If the builder has put drywall, do i still need to rip it out and put cement board even if it's the lighter weighing acrylic panels/tiles?
