Removed studded wall to make walk in shower larger
On our first visit to the ensuite, we realized it was very possible that we would be able to increase the size of the shower area by removing a studded wall. In our experience we find that in many cases shower areas within a newly built are smaller than they need be as a studded false wall has been created to fit the size of the shower tray as opposed to fitting a shower tray to fit the available area.
Below is the original floor plan, the green area indicates the space lost to the false wall. The original ensuite shower tray was 760mm x 700mm. Our intention was to change that to 1200mm x 700mm
The image below is the floor plan that we created, providing more space for the shower tray and for a new shower screen. The quote provided to the client was based on this new floor plan.
The Original Ensuite
The ensuite had the same fittings from the original build which included part tiles, part painted wall. A radiator and a pendant ceiling light that didn’t conform to the present building regulations.
