Limited Floorspace Ensuite Suggestions

23 days ago

I have an ensuite with a tight layout and limited options to alter the footprint due to the presence of two doorways within the space.

I am looking to update the shower enclosure and was hoping to install a nib wall with a sliding shower screen. However, I don't believe this configuration will work because of the proximity of the doorway adjacent to the shower recess.

Unfortunately, I am restricted by the available circulation space, as the shower cannot project into the walkway that provides access to the walk-in robe.

    Could you please post the floor plan as a separate bigger picture?

    Good point Kate. What different/additional functionality are you aiming for?

    What are the measurements of the existing shower recess? Your ensuite looks like it is a generous space, from the photos. Full measurements of the area would help with the correct perspective and suggestions for your question?

    Zoomed as best I could 😕. Looks like the shower recess is between the two doorways. Measurements would help.

    The floor plan doesn’t really tell us much. However you have a good size space with the shower recess being 900x2000mm. You can build a 1200mm long nib wall with glass resting on top. This creates a ledge for shampoos etc. the wall needs to be only 100mm wide, so the width of 900mm shower recess is still at 800mm. There is no need for a shower door, just have a 800mm walk in allowance. So 1200mm nib wall, 800mm entrance. A 1200mm long nib wall would be enough to stop water spray from entering into bathroom floor space. Why a sliding door?? If you definitely want a door, then have a glass hinged door that swings inwards.
