Y’all, I do know that by the point this rest room is completed, we’re all going to be so uninterested in speaking about it. ? BUT…I’ve one probability to get this proper, and as a blogger, I’ve a built-in crowdsourcing alternative after I want enter and data. I do know that so lots of you’ve gone earlier than me and needed to make these precise choices, and I’ve the distinct alternative of studying from so lots of you and listening to how your choices labored out and what (if something) you’d do otherwise. So I hope y’all don’t thoughts me benefiting from your expertise and information. ? And immediately, I’d love your enter on bathe fixtures.
When the fellows left on Friday, that they had a lot of the subfloor in (besides within the bathe), and so they had framed the partitions between the bathe and bathroom space, in addition to the wall that separates these areas from the principle a part of the lavatory.
I do know it’s generally onerous to make heads or tails of images when all you possibly can see is a bunch of 2-x 4’s, so that is the structure of the lavatory…
That’s not fairly to scale, however you get the overall thought. So with that in thoughts, right here’s the way it appears in actual life proper now…
You possibly can see the smaller drain pipe sticking up within the decrease left of the image. That’s the drain for the bath. And the larger drain to the proper of that’s the bathroom. In order that large space walled off within the center left of that image is the bathe.
So now that you simply hopefully have your bearings, I’ll present you a distinct perspective of trying on the bathe space straight on…
You possibly can see the opening into the bathe alongside the left wall. (That door that you simply see there can be gone, and the wall can be strong proper there.) My plan is to have the bathe head on the proper wall of the bathe within the picture above (i.e., the shared wall between the bathe and the bathroom space). That plan is written in stone now. My contractor and I talked over all of the totally different choices for bathe head placement, and this was the one which I favored one of the best.
I had initially purchased one bathe head and one hand-held sprayer with a three-way diverter. That is the Delta Trinsic assortment in Champagne Bronze.
Properly, after seeing simply how HUGE that bathe is, I believed perhaps I ought to have a second bathe head. I imply, one bathe head and one hand-held sprayer on that lengthy wall (about 7 toes lengthy) will look a bit sparse.
So I’m fairly set on the thought of getting two bathe heads on the shared wall between the bathe and bathroom space. However the query I’m uncertain about is the place to place the controls. My major problem is that I don’t like standing below that preliminary stream of chilly water because the water will get heat.
My preliminary plan was to place the on the wall to the left of the bathe entrance.
What I don’t love about that plan is that they controls can be very seen from the principle a part of the lavatory. I imply, I don’t know that that’s a foul factor. They’re not ugly. They’re a reasonably, smooth gold shade, and so they go along with the remainder of the fixtures within the rest room. I’m simply unsure if it’ll look odd.
I might tuck them out of the best way a bit by placing them on the wall straight forward from the bathe entrance.
They’d be rather less seen that method, however I believe it nonetheless may look a bit unusual in such an enormous bathe. However perhaps not. I’m having bother envisioning it.
Or I might have the controls tucked away much more by placing one on all sides however as distant from the bathe head as doable whereas having the 2 equidistant from the bathe head wall.
So these are the choices that I can consider, and I’m simply unsure which one is the most suitable choice. The fellows are working at a distinct job web site immediately, however can be again tomorrow afternoon, so I’ve to have a choice made by then. So when you’ve got any of those preparations in your personal bathe, I’d like to know the professionals and cons! And when you needed to do it over once more, which association would you select?
