So I'm in the process of converting a small brick "shed" into a secondary dwelling where I will stay at some of the time. It is a single room meaning it will have a kitchenette, a bed and a desk in the same space. The toilet is in a outhouse close by but I want to have a shower inside in the main structure. I have access to running water and the plan is to have a camping propane water heater(outside). Once you get past the weird factor, the main issue with having a shower in the living space instead of being confined to the bathroom is the fact that it steams up the entire room so humidity would be crazy.That's why I'm looking for ways to have a shower cabinet that is completely contained, most importantly the top would need to be covered and the side that is against the wall would have a window(and maybe some vents) that I would always open while showering so that all the steam is directed that way to the outside. How would you guys recommend I go about building something like this? Like materials and such?
>>2890319I dont know much about the topic, but instincts tell me to just partition, waterproof and air out as soon as you end showering.Plaster board sounds like a terrible idea, but you MAY be able to use it if you maybe also glue plastic foil to it or maybe paint with waterproof paint of some kind?Wooden boards have same issue of absorbing water, but to less extent, so they may serve you alright for some time before you would need to replace them, serve more if you waterproof them well.Either option will work for keeping steam out of the rest of area, but it may be ugly, make showering difficult or need maintenance.

>>2890319Schluter system, I guess. Just build more of it.
>>2890319If your only concern is steam why not just cold showers? I live in a relatively cold place and still just cold shower every day.
