Hello,
we are in the middle of our major renovation and have apparently encountered a problem. We would like to tile the bathroom on the first floor with tiles up to 1.2m edge length.
Problem: wooden beam ceiling and the next problem is that we would have to realize the level for the construction at beam height or can be a maximum of 10mm above, otherwise we would create an edge/step in the room.
so we would have to create a load-bearing surface between the beams in order to then seal and tile it.
in the picture you can see the floor plan of the bathroom based on the opening of the beams. The walls will be constructed in drywall.
Is there a possible construction to realize our wish without the tiles breaking?
We thought of the following construction.
Set the false floor all the way down and pour in a lightweight clay granulate, then supports on the beams for fitted 25mm OSB panels and glue dry screed onto the OSB panels, then seal, adhesive and tiles.
theoretically we have a build-up height of 22mm from the top edge of the beams to the floor of the neighboring room. That means we could go 10mm above the beams if we calculate 12mm for sealing and tiles. Therefore there is also the consideration to replace the dry screed with a cement screed, which would then be applied to the OSB panels and cover the beams by another 10mm.
We are open to ideas and advice and look forward to everything that comes.
Best regards
Anni and Marcel
