Dynamically read width/height of canvas in <ion-content>

Hello,

I do have an easy IONIC4 Setup with a Header and Splitpane-Menu like:
app.component.html

<ion-app>
  <ion-split-pane>
    <ion-menu side="end" type="overlay">
      <ion-header>
        <ion-toolbar>
          <ion-title>My Menu</ion-title>
        </ion-toolbar>
      </ion-header>
      <ion-content>
        <ion-list>
          <ion-menu-toggle auto-hide="false">
            <ion-item>
                <ion-icon slot="start" name="thumbs-up"></ion-icon>
                <ion-label>Info 1</ion-label>
              </ion-item>
            <ion-item>
              <ion-checkbox slot="start" [(ngModel)]="visualizeCheckbox" (ionChange)="updateCheckbox()"></ion-checkbox>
              <ion-label>My Checkbox</ion-label>
            </ion-item>
            <ion-item>
                <ion-range min="1" max="10" step="1" snaps="true" pin="true" [(ngModel)]="sliderPosition" (ionChange)="updateSliderPosition()">
                  <ion-icon slot="start" size="small" name="flask"></ion-icon>
                  <ion-icon slot="end" name="flask"></ion-icon>
                </ion-range>
            </ion-item>
          </ion-menu-toggle>
        </ion-list>
      </ion-content>
    </ion-menu>
    <ion-router-outlet main></ion-router-outlet>
  </ion-split-pane>
</ion-app>

I do have one simple page like this:
home.page.html

<ion-header>
  <ion-toolbar>
    <ion-label>Hello user <b>{{userName}}</b>!</ion-label> 
    <ion-buttons slot="end">
        <ion-menu-button></ion-menu-button>
    </ion-buttons>
  </ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>

<ion-content [scrollY]="false">
  <canvas #renderCanvas ion-fixed></canvas>
</ion-content>

Inside this page i load a BabylonJS engine into the View-Child #rendercanvas as shown in the following snippet of home.page.ts

[...]
export class HomePage implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
  @ViewChild('renderCanvas', { static: true }) renderCanvas: ElementRef;
[...]
ngOnInit() {
    this.engine.createEngine(this.renderCanvas.nativeElement);
    this.renderCanvas.nativeElement.height = window.innerHeight;
    this.renderCanvas.nativeElement.width = window.innerWidth;
    this.renderCanvas.nativeElement.style.width = '100%';
    this.renderCanvas.nativeElement.style.height = '100%';

    window.addEventListener('resize', () => {
      this.engine.getEngine().resize();
    });
}
[...]

In doing so i need to set the height and width of the renderCanvas correctly. I did it like shown above with using the window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight. But my issue is that, this includes the header and the split-pane-menu. The Event-Listener ensures a correct resizing once the window is resized. But, the first initial view of the BabylonJS engine in the renderCanvas will be distorted.

How can i dynamically access the width and height of just the renderCanvas (without the header and the menu)?
It tried it with using this.renderCanvas.nativeElement.clientHeight the but always received a 0.

Does anyone has an idea?

Thanks for your help!
