Posted By: bardoRather than use wool boards, as we are for the sheepswool insulated, hemp/lime rendered internal stud walls and clay plastered rafters, I am considering foil backed plasterboard for the bathroom ceiling, walls. Is it a good idea to hermetically seal this room? And what of the floor? We have suspended timber ijoists which I will be insulating with glass or mineral wool. The plan for the rest of the home is to put a taped 18mm OSB 3 layer on top to act as a vapour check. Your thoughts welcome.

We used 12mm Hardibacker board behind the stone tiles including in the shower. Ordinary plasterboard on ceiling. Hardibacker is hard to cut but bomb proof and great for fixing to compared to regular plasterboard. Sorry not very green.

That was my thought process exactly.
