Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Jan 06, 2018 6:34 am I would like to build a small wall in my bathroom, in between the bathtub and vanity. This wall would be approx. 80cm wide and 150cm high - it would not reach the ceiling and would act as a kind divider. I plan to build this wall from brick and then tile it.
