Firstly, I don't know the technical name for the 'ceiling curb', but I'll try to explain.
We're remodeling a shower and going to use cultured marble. The shower originally had the ceiling 1 foot lower, than the rest of the bathroom (7' ceiling in shower, 8' bathroom ceiling). I raised the ceiling to match the rest of the bathroom, but I'm curious if I should have a small drop/curb on the ceiling to basically help keep steam/moisture from the shower in the shower, as opposed to having the ceiling be butted straight out to the drywall ceiling. The guys we had give an estimate gave some pro's and con's of both, but I honestly can't recall what they were, so I was hoping to get some thoughts on it here. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter? Also, if there's a technical name for what I'm describing, let me know and I will update the thread title accordingly. Thanks!
