Hello,
I am new here and hope that my question is in the right place.
The following situation:
I want to remodel an existing small bathroom with a sloping roof. The house was previously equipped with insulation between the rafters and, after battens and counter battens, faced with a white wooden ceiling.
A few years ago, as part of a roof renovation, a 14 cm PUR exterior insulation was applied, which makes the old insulation unnecessary.
Now, in this bathroom, the ceiling is only about 2.1 meters high at the highest point and slopes down according to the roof pitch.
In the shower (shower construction also about 10 cm), you can hardly stand upright...
Now I want to remove the old structure (insulation, battens, wooden ceiling, etc.) and attach a new cladding directly to the rafters or, in the shower, even between the rafters. This way, I can gain about 15 cm more headroom in the shower and still gain a few centimeters in the rest of the room due to the battens and counter battens.
Now my question: How do I build the ceiling anew? The rafter spacing (clear span) is about 60 cm. At first, I thought of OSB boards and then the green drywall boards on top. Since the substrate is wood (rafters, OSB), will that crack?
Above the shower, the whole thing would also need to be fairly waterproof, as water splashes can occasionally occur there. However, with the wooden ceiling, there apparently was no problem over the last 20 years.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
