Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 12, 2011 9:08 pm My daughter has a large main bedroom that she is renovating and after pulling out all the old built-in wardrobes to make way for the new I thought of an idea! She has a small ensuite at the front of the bedroom and my idea was to build a walk through wardrobe that leads through to the ensuite. Everyone likes the idea of a big walk through wardrobe but the question was asked? would mould become an issue being so close to the ensuite and to be honest I'm not really sure....any thoughts on that please? Walk through wardrobe to ensuite 2Oct 12, 2011 9:58 pm How much natural ventilation is there? As long as there isn't a build up of steam then mould shouldn't eventuate. Opening windows and powerful exhaust fans will help. Also she could have sliding doors covering the hanging sections if she was worried. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Walk through wardrobe to ensuite 3Oct 13, 2011 4:45 am We had a walk through wardrobe for 10 years with no mould problems at all. Just had a normal exhaust fan in the ensuite.

Re: Walk through wardrobe to ensuite 4Oct 13, 2011 7:02 am Our last house had that design & mould was never an issue. That was with a standard exhaust fan which I usually forgot to turn on It is a very popular design these days (well at least in SA) we are having it again in our new house too, it works really well.

I can also remember seeing quite a few this way in display homes, so I wouldn't think it would be a problem if builders are making them that way ? Re: Walk through wardrobe to ensuite 7Oct 13, 2011 2:56 pm As others have said, we have had it that way in our last 2 homes and again in our new build.... no problems.... and I'm also a shocker for forgetting to turn on the fan!!!
