Choosing That Small Bathroom Suite
Posted by Duncan Munday | Filed under Home & Family
Believe it or not the average UK bathroom is only 2 x 2.5 metres, so if you are looking for a small bathroom suite you will not be the only one. In these times of maximising living space modern bathrooms are considerably smaller than bathrooms of old, so manufacturers have developed a large range of small bathrooms to suit demand.
Prior to jumping in the car or getting online to source the first suite you come to that fits your allowed dimensions just bear in mind current plumbing and water inlets.
For example if you have to move a soil pipe, this could cost nearly as much as the bathroom suite itself when you factor in the cost of a professional plumber and the parts required. On the other hand moving a soil pipe could completely change the bathroom layout for the better.
If, like many families, you have room for either a bath or a shower but not both you might run into problem. Some people can’t do without their daily shower, whereas others can’t imagine life without the occasional long, hot soak. Can you please all the people all of the time?
Well, you could consider a combination bath/shower in this instance, where the bath has more space at the shower end. Fit one of these baths with curved shower screens and there will be ample space for showering. So, yes in this instance, you can please everybody.
Baths are now available in so many combinations of shape and size that you are almost guaranteed to find one that will fit you specifications. Some space-saving baths, for example, have a gently narrowed shape that doesn’t eat up so much floor space. One advantage is that these aren’t tremendously expensive either.
Alternatively, you could go for a complete space saving bathroom suite. These maximise space by clever use of built in cabinets and corner fitted sanitary ware. You might find that a corner sink or a corner fitting toilet completely alleviates the problems that come with having limited space.
If you are one of the lucky ones to have a large enough bathroom for a shower on it’s own you will find a wide range of shower enclosures that will fit your bathroom. The bathroom manufacturers appreciate that we don’t have a bathroom with no space concerns nowadays. The choice of shower enclosures now is vast with a large range ideal for smaller situations the corner shower unit is particularly popular with either a curtain, sliding doors or bi-fold doors helping to reduce the overall footprint of the shower in your bathroom.
