Pitfalls combining bathroom with toilet

Many apartment owners are thinking about whether to make a combined bathroom. This solution has several quite tangible advantages. First of all, it saves ceramic tiles, the cost of its installation. Often you can put a washing machine, shower, and sometimes a bathtub in the resulting room. Plus, in this way a unified water supply management system is created, in which case it is very convenient to check the meter readings, close the valves and eliminate leaks.

Also, you will not need to spend money on buying another door. Accordingly, it will be necessary to clean up in one room, and not in two. In addition, modern designers offer a lot of attractive and aesthetic interior options that combine functionality and various design styles.

To properly assess their capabilities, you need to know about all the possible pitfalls and difficulties that may arise when implementing the idea of ​​combining bathrooms. First, you need to get permits for redevelopment. To do this, you need to contact the housing-maintenance-operational association, which will prepare documents for the approval of the redevelopment, where they can also prepare a repair project. In order to properly prepare the room for redevelopment, it is necessary to block the riser with water, make sure that there is no electrical wiring in the partition between the bathrooms. You also need to take a bath, a toilet bowl, a washing machine, a shower cabin out of the room - in short, everything that can interfere. It is necessary to warn the neighbors about the upcoming repair, because the demolition of the partition will make a lot of noise.

From the wall, you need to remove the lamps, tiles, wallpaper and only after that start breaking it. If there is a window between the toilet and the bathroom, it is best to start with it.

After the demolition of the wall, the procedure will be as follows. First, remove all rubbish, then conduct communications with hot cold water, level and make wall lining, arrange screed coat and floor, as well as the ceiling. When all this is ready, you can put back everything you need.

To save space as much as possible, many owners abandon the bath in favor of the shower. This will make sense if the design of the cabin is angular or round with dimensions of 50-60 cm. If you still need to place the bath, it is better to put it across the room, and not along. The washbasin, as well as the shower, is best placed in the corner. So that the resulting room does not look smaller than it is, do not make the bottom dark, and the top light. It is best to purchase a plain tile or make one wall darker than another. You can also vertically alternate some contrasting shades. No need to save on a mirror. A large good mirror above the sink will be only a plus in terms of expanding space. Mirror tiles located opposite each other can play the same role.
