Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry Re: To Ensuite Door Or Not To Ensuite Door??? 15Feb 10, 2011 2:01 pm Are you set on the ensuite layout itself? You could mess around with the layout of it, and only have one door, possibly a sliding door. From the plan it looks like a massive ensuite! (lucky you!). I changed my bathroom and ensuite around a lot from the original plan and it didn't cost me anything extra. Re: To Ensuite Door Or Not To Ensuite Door??? 16Feb 11, 2011 2:56 pm Yeah, I'm pretty much in love with it as it is... It's HUUUUUUGE!!!!! Considering we currently live in a 12sq house, this house will be 3X bigger so the ensuite will be about as big as my current bedroom!!!! Watch out!!! I'm a crazy Scots-Woman!!! Re: To Ensuite Door Or Not To Ensuite Door??? 17Feb 11, 2011 3:20 pm Hi Chubz, Does you shower has the option of opening either side ? If not then you could move the shower to the right side and have double vanity on the left side. You can then have a central opening for the ensuite which is up to you to have a door or not. This way you don't have to move the door for the bedroom (might be useful if you plan to have a wall mounted tv in front of the bed ....) like the way the other 3 bedrooms are spacious too. 26/2 - Sales 23/3 - Colours 31/3 - Tender 14/4 - Contract 7/5 - Taps 12/6 - Site start 15/6 - Slab 27/6 - Frame 1/8 - Lockup/Fixing 29/9 - PCI 25/10 - Handover Re: To Ensuite Door Or Not To Ensuite Door??? 18Feb 11, 2011 3:26 pm Just a thought but are you planning to use bedroom 2? Have you tried flushing the toilet in the ensuite to see what sort of noise impact it has on that bedroom. It might be worth asking if they would allow you to flush the toilet in the display home to check it out. I did this in one home I visited where an ensuite toilet shared a common wall with one of the bedrooms and the noise in the bedroom was horrendous. There was no insulation in the internal walls so perhaps if there was it would have made a difference. Also, personally I would hate to have an open ensuite. I prefer to have a bit of privacy in the bathroom. Re: To Ensuite Door Or Not To Ensuite Door??? 19Feb 11, 2011 5:58 pm B2 problem is easily rectified by changing BIR in B2 to the opposite wall - either parallel to its present position or running along wall shared with hallway - either would mean wardrobe and contents would serve as noise buffer from the ensuite toilet. 4 x 3.7 is generous minor bedroom size so would still have plenty of options for furniture placement. Re: To Ensuite Door Or Not To Ensuite Door??? 20Feb 11, 2011 6:59 pm Hi All, The shower opens at the top end (not either side) so it's not really moveable. I like the layout, just want to be able to close it off with doors if possible, plus having the single vanities on either side of the room means no more fighting with the other half over mess on the vanity I hadn't actually thought about the flushing toilet noise - great suggestion!!! B2 will more than likely be used as a nursery as I am desperate to start trying for a child soon.... Moving the wardrobe is an excellent suggestion though and would also help with buffering any potential baby crying.... so if my sales rep ever gets back to me (still no return calls or emails ) I will have this changed on the plan!!! It doesn't look like we are in a huge rush now to build either as we may need to hold off to Stage 2 of the land release which I think may not be until next year Watch out!!! I'm a crazy Scots-Woman!!! My door tends to rub against the frame during winter and I'm looking to fix it so it closes smoothly. Looking online on Youtube I'm seeing methods to fix the alignment and… 0 694 Thanks for the suggestion. The space between shower and sinks was too tight. I agree about the toilet location. So I have tried two other options: The lower one is… 3 6140 the step up is 30mm and wanting it to be flat . how much does the concrete have to be lowered .we plan on removing bath and lenghten shower and adding seat. the old bath… 0 11835 |
