Layout for small bathroom
Comments (16)Unless you particularly like to lounge in a bath you could do what we are doing: ( In construction now ) -shower for grown ups of all ages stays where it is -next to it under the window we have a 1205 bath so we can bathe the little ones. (without causing a drought) -A slide cavity door leaves much more space. -the vanity could have been 1200 but we have decided to keep to 900 which we think will be ample enough. This leaves a space between the vanity and the bath. bathroom size 2150x 2150....See MoreAdvice needed on a bathroom layout
Comments (26)Our house is full of cavity sliders. Twice they were all (but one) replaced due to swelling/warping and rubbing against framework when opening and closing. Some made terrible noise whenever we opened or closed them. Hubby had a hunch they were poorly manufactured overseas and discovered that was the case. Builder sourced a local manufacturer and the whole lot, bar one, was replaced and we haven't had any further issues. The one door couldn't be replaced due to it's location - a wall would have had to be pulled down, just as co-design has described. This experience makes me think it may be a case of ensuring you purchase well manufactured doors for your climate and particular environment, and take into careful consideration the particular location they will be installed....See MoreAdvice on Floor Plan for new Bathroom
Comments (8)Actually your problem is not a lack of a good design/layout skills, but the idea of saving money by sub-contracting yourselves. Bathrooms are tricky spaces to get right due to the level of detail required in a small space, the number of trades required (and the order), the regulations, the possibilities of mistakes costing you big money, and the time it takes for owner/builders to project manage a complex small build. Decisions made in the design and selections process will have repercussions in the build process. If you are not going to engage a builder to do the project management of the trades then I would suggest that you do lots of research that includes prices (and lead times), and make sure that the walls and four elevations are drawn up in detail at a 1:20 scale so that all of your trades understand exactly the what and where everything is going. If you are inexperienced renovators then best of luck with preserving your sanity and minimising your stress to save some money.

Comments (29)My thoughts for what they are worth. Can the window be cut down in width and if needed increased in height so the sill finishes at the bathtub hob level, if not leave the sill height as is. I have allowed for a 1650 long x 750 wide with a 75mm tiled hob surround. You have a; 1400 long x 1050 wide shower. 1425 long Vanity. If you want wall cabinets either side of mirror they can be recessed into the existing wall frame (if the wall is framed) and mirror can continue across cabinet doors. If the wall is solid brick/block you have room to build out a wall frame anyway. I'm a bit short on time to explain much more but hope this may help as another option....See MoreKate
