loft wet room design & height problems

4 years ago

We will have to put the shower in the the highest point which is 1920, but only 1700 (head height) going across.. Will this height be ok , or will we get a lot of water going over the top of the glass?

Are there any particular problems in having a wet room in the loft?

Please any advice will be appreciated.

What is the length of the shower? You will probably need to get a bespoke glass screen made because 1700mm is low. The area will need to be tanked to prevent leaks.

I think that some form of pullout is your best option in there, you might be able to get a section of full hanging or a set of double hanging space, then you could have some cubby holes built for shoes etc in the tight corner. Im not sure if there is enough space, but another idea might be to make it into a really cosy bench seat with a custom cushion on top, this way you could have storage underneath and then a nice place to sit and read- but it might just be a little too tight for this.

Hi - I can understand what you mean about mosaic tiles looking like a swimming pool. However - how would you like to select colours and design a custom mosaic tile blend for your floor and walls for your shower area to fit in with the colour way of your room? Check out our 'Create Your Own' Tile Palette online design tool where you can choose tile colours and also see how different grout colours will work with your mosaic. All our mosaics are handmade in Scotland and will cost less than your £150/m2. Here is the link http://mosaicshack.com/custom-blender/ Have a look it's fun to use.

Wet room panels are ideal as they help the water stay within a space. You don't want water spraying everywhere especially if your having wooden furniture. This can cause the wood to blow as water always finds a way to get everywhere. Plus it will save time on cleaning when you get out.

Loft extension flooring and stairs problem.....

Thanks Sarah, yes I think this would look nice because hopefully it would match the new stairs and I am presuming the rest of the house below having had a quick look under the carpets so would flow into this (we hope to try and use the old floorboards in lower house if possible). Maybe a carpet runner on the stairs below, not sure on the loft stairs yet because it will be open plan.....Anyway our builder (who is also family) is a bit anti floorboards on the loft floor due to difficulty putting down compared to engineered flooring so I would need to go back to him and see what he thinks. Also I am a bit concerned about cost and wear and tear compared to engineered but it must be cheaper than hardwood at least? TIA x

Also bear in mind that we had to have a raised shower ‘step’ in our loft room because the pipes need a drop and there wasn’t enough room under the floorboards to do this so you might possibly end up losing more head height.

Oh no that would be even worse. I need to check with the plumber. Thank you!
