RE: [Strawbale] waterproofing the bathroom



I don’t know the answer but I can tell you what I did – I finished plastering the wall then erected marine plywood at least 50mm from the wall using the ringbeam as a fixing and then tiled onto that .

HI!

I am thinking of putting panels of  pladur or knauf (a type of cement board) covered with tiles in the bathroom to protect the bales from the water of the shower (not yet installed), but i was wondering if I should put a layer of plaster under the board? Also, should I leave an air space between  the board and the bale wall, or should they touch? Does it matter? 

any comments or alternative ideas are appreciated; I haven´t started the work there yet, so I  am open to other suggestions  . . .


MAY THE wings OF LIBERTY NEVER LOSE A SINGLE FEATHER!

love , RIKKI
