What did you due to water proof this window. I am remodeling and I have a similar but bigger window in the area where I would like to move my shower.

Hi there, In addition to Laura's fantastic advice about waterproofing and adding a slope to your window sill, you might like to think about a waterproof window dressing. PVC Roller blinds or Vertical blinds are great ways to ensure that fabrics don't warp or become mouldy in damp conditions. Waterproof shutters are also a fantastic option as they're incredibly hardwearing - you'll never have to worry about little splashes again! If you'd like to find out more about waterproof window dressings, take a look at our guide - http://www.hillarys.co.uk/inspiration/2015/04/waterproof-products/ Let me know if I can be of any more assistance Thanks, Zoe

I misunderstood the plan mistaking the tank cupboard for a bath. So I assume from your comment that the tank is going- I got rid of one in my last house by installing a combi boiler and presume you are doing the same. I would suggest you put the bath and shower on the window wall but put the shower on the right side of the window where there is more wall. WC where the tank is now and the basin stays in the original location but perhaps swap for a vanity with loads of storage. Given that he is quite tall consider hanging the basin higher than normal.

Hi Karen Previous comments state everything about the window but I would still consider the layout.I do not know details of the size of the room so it is only suggestion. I would change into a pocket door (losing internal space by few inches is not big deal), new wall wider with the smaller door opening. Quadrant shower enclosure attached to this wall. Ideally would be changing the window, smaller and higher window cill to accommodate WC pan and basin on shorter wall. Large towel warmer if you do not plan for UFH. If you going to install UFH than small rail with few hangers.

questions on flush windows

Thanks Minnie. It’s a 1950s house & all of the current casement windows have 3 panes. One window company said the 2.1m & 2.3 windows should have 4 panes & the 1.5m windows 3 panes (because 600mm is the widest window you can have for flush) but the other window company have said we can have whatever size we want. We’ve gone back to check. The local houses I have seen with flush windows all seem to have smaller panes which in our case if we followed suit would mean 3 & 4 for our windows. Aaarrrrgh. Time for coffee :)
