Ensuite window size
Hi,
Getting there now ! Thanks for all help so far from great forum, just deciding on ensuite window, here is what architect has suggested :
Thought might look a bit weird with the window going all the way to edge of the internal stud wall on left in picture, can't see many pictures of it anywhere and wandered if better to reduce window to 700 and have a 50 nib on the left - what do people think ?
Also not sure on the opening - thinking best thing is to go for hinges at top with single handle in middle so can be reached from the sink side and open outwards at bottom as otherwise would want window to open away from the wall and handle would be tricky to get to from across the toilet. Really want a mirror above sink so toilet needs to go under the window.
Are bathroom windows a standard 105 from the floor if going above a toilet (that is height in current bathroom so guess sills would match across the house).
Many thanks,
Lawrence

Comments (2)Generally a larger tile will make a room look bigger than a smaller one as they are less 'busy' also go for lighter colours across all surfaces (ceiling, floor and wall) if you can to increase the light in the room. If a Building Inspector is involved you may need to keep a certain colour difference between surfaces, but in the past we have negotiated a band at skirting level and at the edge of the ceiling to satisfy the regulations which could be an option if needed. The old idea of using mirrors to open up a space really does work. I don't know if you will have a window - if so I assume from the description that it would be either a velux type roof window or a vertical dormer window - either way if you have one try and put a mirror opposite if possible so the room is opened up even further and the light bouncing around the space is amplified. I know Ideal Standard do 'Concept Space' fittings that are more compact than their traditional counterparts which might be worth a gander. You can also get WCs with a sink over the cistern, an though these have never personally appealed, sometimes a small space breeds necessity. Good Luck!...See MoreObscure glass on a front en-suite
Comments (12)I understand your dilemma. My main bathroom window is at the front of the house, right in the middle and it is a big 3 section window. We are planning to change all the windows but can’t decide what to do with this one. At the moment we have pattered obscure glass and in my opinion it looks awful. Perhaps frosted glass would look better? Looking forward to see what you go for...See MoreLooking for feedback on a family bathroom and en-suite split
Comments (2)I don’t believe you have the space for a small separate shower on the family bathroom and it’s in a tight corner for access. If the bath is going to be used so sporadically why not just go for a large shower instead or a shower over bath for the best of both?...See MoreJJ
