Blodwen Street – Ordering a Bathroom

Figuring out how to add a bathroom into a tiny boiler room was interesting.  Craig ordered the quadrant shower enclosure a little hastily as it was £25 (down from £300) and unfortunately got the 900x1400 instead of the 900x900 enclosure - whoops.  Luckily we will use that enclosure at Gwendoline St, so no loss. (Pictures below show what a quadrant shower is.)

We also discovered that we actually can’t fit a 900x900 base in the space we have.  We would be better off fitting something 750 wide in order not to move the boiler, hence saving a lump of cash there.

Given that, we worked with the builder and the helpful people at Bathrooms.com to find a base and enclosure that is big enough to feel roomy, and to fit the space we have (didn’t want a 750 quadrant).  We now have a 760x1000 base and enclosure with the door on the 760 side, so we can make it a bigger shower.

Floors and Walls

We prefer tiles over PVC wall panels for environment and health reasons. For cost reasons we can see why people do it, as with our decision for vinyl flooring below.

We have chosen to go with Laminate for the kitchen and bathroom floors.  This is due to the local area having a price ceiling.  We would prefer natural products, but sometimes a business decision must be made.  We went with Columbia Popayan Ash Vinyl.
