Shower over freestanding bath, without a curtain. Is my plan logical?!
Comments (48)Free standing baths are only suitable for larger rooms where you have the ability to position the bath with free access all the way round, I regularly remove them from smaller bathrooms when doing re-fits, people like the aesthetics of the free standing bath and plough ahead and install them against a wall, the result is a disgusting accumulation of dust, fluff, pubic hair etc, this will happen quite quickly and you will regret having gone down this route. The concept of having the bath with no curtain is interesting though, in a bathroom around 2.1m square, most of the bathroom will be effected by splashing, the room will need a wet room floor former, and will require that the whole room is tanked prior to tiling, have a look at. (http://www.wetroominnovations.com) I usually use their Maxus formers and Purus gully traps. you can indeed get a flexible waste connection, have a look at McAlpine "Flexcon" range, these are available through any reputable merchants, these are quite substantial and would stand up to semi regular movement, if your free standing bath is an acrylic bath it won't be too heavy, so moving it would be quite straight forward, but I would suggest having small felt pads on the feet to protect the tiled surface, also from a drying point of view, Karcher have a very good little gadget for cleaning windows, which vacuums up the water, I often mention it to clients and any who have bought one have been delighted at how easy it is to use, it will leave the floor almost dry once you have used it, one note of caution would be your choice of floor tile, you will need a porcelain tile that has an R rating, this is a slip resistant rating and would be most advised. another note of caution, because the splashing will not be controlled, any vanity or wood based furniture will deteriorate.

Comments (0)I'm renovating a 1960s house, and want to introduce a mid-century modern vibe where possible. Really hate the plastic guttering & downpipes, and thinking of replacing with aluminium or stainless steel. Does anyone have advice about this? Also, like the idea of rain chains to divert rainwater from the roof to the garden. I live in Sheffield. Can anyone recommend a trusted company who are experienced in this kind of work? Many thanks for all advice!...See MoreNeed Help why our new bath's front panel like this?

Comments (7)If you are looking for bifold doors timber possibly isn't the way to go as the door panes can not be made as big as in aluminium and with the possibility of expansion or shrinkage aluminium is a more suited material. There are also lots of great sliding doors out there! The ALUK sliding doors and Smart system visoglides are a good price and fit for purpose. If you need any advice on anything please give me a message! Hannah...See MoreKate Burt
