I built my home over 6 years ago. It’s a timber frame, and my first floor bathroom has exposed (urethaned) timbers and a gyproc ceiling. I had installed a corner glass shower unit. The fan is directly exhausted through the exterior wall, which was just outside the to corner of the glass wall of the unit. I haven’t had any moisture problems as of yet. However, we recently did a majore re-model, ceramic tile floor, skip-troweled ceiling, and custom built tile showerpand shower pan. The walls of the new shower are now higher than they were, leaving about 12 inches to the ceiling. Is there a transparent finish we could apply to the ceiling and timbers to protect them against moisture. Would poly-urethane work?
