Waterproofing Timber frames in Bathroom for Shower
Posted: Sun May 07, 2017 4:51 pm
Hi all,
Recently just purchased a property that has timber frames throughout, the bathroom currently has a bath only, however we really need to get a shower in there. Happy for it to be with the bath and not a separate unit, but have concerns about waterproofing and looking for some advice.
Really don't want to tile over, so we feel like our options are:
Waterproofing varnish on the frames- has anyone used these before for this reason? I know of the ongoing work it will require to re apply etc.
Glass/ Acrylic sheeting so that you can still see the beam features but ensure that water won't directly hit the beams.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!
