The Bathroom

The ceilings in the house are 9 feet high and down each side of the house is a piece of ceiling on a 35 degree angle that is impossible to insulate due to it being next to the roof, the bathroom ceiling was damaged and needed replacing.
I determined we could drop the ceiling level to 2.4m a drop of about 300mm and would enable us to insulate the whole ceiling out to the outer wall, having a ceiling at 2.4m allowed us to use sheets on the walls of the bathroom floor to ceiling however in most cases it was half sheets of 1.2m each, we used a water proof sheet around the bottom half where cleaning and water would most likely be happening, for the top half we chose a 12mm pine faced ply this was coated with a water based product before we put it in place.
The ceiling was lined with the same product as the bottom half of the walls it is a hard glazed type finish made for lining showers with, we installed a LED light strip rated for bathroom use that gave ample light to all the room it is a very good idea that sits almost flush with the ceiling panels.
We totally stripped the flooring and replaced it with a 20mm ply that has a pinkish look about the face veneer this we put down in 3 equal with panels the result was pleasing with only 2 joints and not in a position of a lot of water this left us with a lot of waste ply so a cupboard to sit the hand basin on seemed logical, we do have doors for it they just wait to be put in place.
The shower tray we had made to suit our plan then we filled the step with wood so we could captivate nuts that the bolts would tighten onto to hold the brackets for the glass, the idea is that the shower water runs down the glass and drips off into the shower tray, there is no mastic joint that grows mold and most often leaks out of the shower area causing problems, the floor of the tray has a 20mm ply backing cut and jointed so the tray keeps its draining ability and will not hold water in puddles as it is set level on the floor joists, I like to apply the same theory to the shower wall lining as the glass, there is a 10mm gap between the stainless steel tray and the back of the wall lining the stainless steel is 40mm higher than the bottom of the wall panels I hope this all results in the water staying in the shower area and not getting into the walls.

I made 2 new doors one for the bathroom and a bedroom door both had a good dose of woodworm in them, we also had an electrician
in the house for almost a week to replace the wiring that dated back to when the house was built.
We installed a heater to warm the room on cold nights and an extractor fan as its condensation in a bathroom that causes the most damage.
