Comments (48)😱 indeed, Victoria. That's how I feel but at the same time, the middle horizontal is a bit high for me. Sigh. Maybe I'll hunt out some neighbours with the original doors and try a few out! Thanks for the link, Joanna. The problem is I've fallen in love with some door knobs, they are an unusual finish and the manufacturer makes matching latches but they only do 60mm and 100mm to the backset. The short one feels a bit tight. The long one is too long, esp if I pair them with thumb turns on the bathroom and toilet doors. I feel so privileged to even have this dilemma but if you are going to spend a lot of money, you want it to be perfect! I shall ponder....See More3D loft plans required to visualise height and sloped ceilings
Comments (12)If you have 1900 high roofing trusses the 2200 ridge height is irrelevant because your ceiling will be the trusses.... in fact with insulation and board the ceiling will be a little lower. And the ceilings of the ground floor will be fixed to beams that are not strong enough to be an upstairs floor so likely your floor level will come up. And most of the space in your loft will have much less height than in the very centre. To put it into context if your downstairs rooms have standard doors they will be 1981mm high (plus architrave). This means there will be insufficient height at the top of your stairs (and I believe build regs says this has to be 2m). And finding a door to put on the bathroom will be a problem, but mostly you will only be able to stand up in the very middle of the room. People do convert their lofts to have this kind of space but find it doesn’t add resale value. There may also be building regs issues with the stairs rising from a space that is open to the kitchen. Have you built the house already? Can you change the design to have a higher roof?...See MoreVanity mirror height
Comments (12)Hi there, yes, a bit of an issue. Was a height specified on a design somewhere, or has the fitter arbitrarily decided on the height? We would normally leave this as an "on site" decision for the fitter to consult the client and agree a height prior to creating/modifying boxing & structure to suit. That should have happened quite early in the build in the case of recessed cabinets. As Sarah correctly indicates, there is no "standard" height and normally there is quite a bit of flexibility, unless you have runs of furniture which include tall units which may set an "upper edge" limit. You don't have this, so now you have a dilemma. While there is no absolute way to determine a "correct" height, as a rough rule of thumb we would get the tallest & shortest adult using the bathroom and measure "floor to eye" height of both, then pick the midpoint between these two heights as the rough centreline for the mirror, then tweak to taste. My gut says yours is slightly higher than optimal, especially given room height. As to what to do - reworking it now is a not insignificant undertaking, as you would need to remove a couple of rows of tiles (to one tile each side of the opening), recut the board, possibly add in some additional noggins, possibly tweak the electrics (if it has been left with insufficient float), then recut and retile the "awkward" bit. Any fitter is going to strenuously resist doing that at this late stage! If he is accurate to drawing, then it would be reasonable for them to expect you to pay for the privilege of such a change. If the design shows the mirror lower, you have a case to tell them to put it right. But expect resistance! If there is no design and you have not been clear that you wish to be involved in setting the height, then you're into a grey "he says, she says" situation, and have to decide how far you want to try and push it. Best of luck!...See Moreoklouise
