        "text": "In Denver and nearby communities, many older properties feature thick wire lath and plaster backing behind shower tile rather than modern cement backer board. Plaster and mortar beds require specialized masonry tooling and deliberate drilling speeds to avoid cracking brittle surrounding surfaces or causing vibration damage to adjacent drywall. Hiring a local contractor familiar with both older regional framing styles and modern tile construction ensures the fasteners anchor firmly into the underlying framing without damaging original finishes.",
