Hello everyone,
we are currently planning our new building and have positioned the bathroom on the upper floor so that it shares a wall with the bedroom.
At first, we thought about placing only cabinets and a heated towel rail on the wall. However, since there could be problems with the shower on the other wall due to the window dimensions, either the window must be smaller or the shower placed in the corner (exterior wall/interior wall to the bedroom).
In our current living situation, we also have the shower like that and are very unhappy with it. As soon as someone is in the bathroom showering, I immediately wake up from the opening/closing of the shower cabin door, the rushing and splashing of the water, and the banging of the shower products when put away.
However, this is a house from the 60s with 15 cm interior walls (I guess Lecabeton or something like that) and our new building will have 12 cm thick drywall walls (6x8 KVH filled with 60mm glass wool insulation on both sides. boarded with 12.5mm gypsum board, 12mm OSB plus wall coverings in the bathroom tiles, bedroom side textured wallpaper) and therefore we cannot compare how the difference would be. Especially since the wardrobe would be standing on the wall and would certainly absorb sound again...
What can you say about the old building/wall structure compared to the new building as we have it, how is the difference and how does it behave?
Best regards
