Powder Room Placement
Moreover it can be a show piece for visitors who will certainly use it.
Powder room placement. In a small powder room without much access to natural light for example a windowless space under the stairs embrace the moodier edgier atmosphere with darker tones and dim lighting. Even though a powder room is one of the humblest and simplest places in the house its placement near the living room makes it one of the most regularly used. Having one next to the dining room is uncomfortable for everyone involved. You will normally bend down to use this area so you can cheat some space out of it if you are particularly squeezed.
The trick is to place the toilet with its back to the descending ceiling. This should be 12 to 54 inches from the back wall behind the toilet. Each toilet needs a grab bar that is at least 42 inches long installed horizontally on the side wall nearest the toilet. Even though powder rooms are simple spaces their placement near the kitchen or living room makes them one of the most frequently used.
It s also recommended that your toilet paper roll be placed 8 12 from the front rim of the toilet if possible mine is closer to the front of the toilet than that due to space constraints. In addition the rear wall should have a 24 inch minimum grab bar centered over the toilet tank. A powder room may need to fit in a narrow space under stairs or both. A toilet that has a triangular tank is ideal for use in this situation.
Bathtubs without permanent seats. Powder rooms are great because they add convenience for guests and it removes the need for guests to snoop and sneak around in your main personal bathrooms. If site conditions require the installation of the toilet in a corner of the powder room be aware that the narrower the tank is the closer the toilet will fit into the corner. Every powder room must be ventilated by either a window that opens or a fan.
The powder room should cover 25 square feet of floor space although there are designs that fit into as little as 11 square feet. Also known as a half bath this space contains only a toilet and sink and is often on the main floor for guests to use when visiting. Just a couple of inches of clearance can determine whether a half bath is built or not. The back wall parallel to the length of the tub needs two.
Powder rooms do best when they re located just off of the public spaces. Traditionally powder rooms will have the toilet and the sink against one wall sharing plumbing and waste lines with the door opening displaying the sink the room s focal point.
