Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry Re: Where to put entry to ensuite 2Nov 21, 2017 12:47 pm I had a similar situation and went with Option 2. If you take Option 2, you may want to add sound insulation on the green wall. Due to my peculiar layout I also chose to have a cavity slider to enter the WIR and a regular door into the ensuite. You are correct in saying that this option does not look right, but it helps if 'sound' is a peeve. Yes it will be odd for a tradie to navigate through the WIR to fix something in the ensuite...but then how frequent will that be? Looks like in Option 2, you get a smaller WC though. In Option 1 : is there a window in the shower area? What type of door are you planning for entry into the ensuite? A slider is very poor to contain sound. Re: Where to put entry to ensuite 3Nov 21, 2017 1:41 pm I prefer option 1. Option 2 I think the walk is just too long, it doesn't feel right. I'd just put a solid swinging door on option 1. That said, I do prefer the WIR entrance to be near the ensuite, not necessarily attached but not miles apart. So I'd try to get the opening at the ensuite end. Re: Where to put entry to ensuite 4Nov 21, 2017 3:02 pm I like the orange option, whichever that is - 1 or 2. I think the layout of the ensuite in the other bathroom is a bit clunky or something. I would just put a door on the ensuite, maybe a sliding door. Any door is better than nothing and a cavity slider will look better when it's open. My blog: tashandpaul.wordpress.com Re: Where to put entry to ensuite 6Nov 22, 2017 6:01 am Option 2 is perfect, but even if you opt for option 1 you can insulate the room for sound by ensuring a solid core door is fitted, using seals around the door, sound insulate the wall and use "Soundchek" plasterboard. Re: Where to put entry to ensuite 7Nov 22, 2017 12:41 pm brokenstick We are having trouble deciding where to have our ensuite door. Option 1 (orange) is straight off off the bedroom Advantage - easy to get to Disadvantage - noise, I often get up early or come in late and my wife is a very light sleeper who doesn't like any noise There will be a door to the bathroom. Option 2 (white) is though the WIR Advantage - noise isolation between bedroom and bathroom Disadvantage - Bathroom feels very disconnected. Have to walk around and through long WIR to get there. If anyone else needs to get in they have to go through our WIR There will be a door to the bathroom. My wife favors this option, but to me it just doesn't look right With either option we will be having a door to the bathroom Will appreciate any input. Thanks Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Option 2 looks better, but if your wife doesn’t like noise then 1 is the better option. Put a solid hinged door on the bathroom and soundscreen insulation in the wall. The WC isn’t big enough though, too squishy to close the door when inside it. Perhaps move the vanity next to the door and have the WC the way it is in option 2. You can have a high window above the vanity so there is room for a mirror.
