Your Bathroom Remodel Plan
When putting
together a plan for your bathroom remodel these
are some of the things you need to take into
consideration:
Shower Stall
- Reserve at least 34 square inches for a
shower enclosure. An enclosure 42 x
36-inches is even better to ensure
sufficient elbow room.
- Ensure at least 30 inches of clearance
in front of the shower stall.
- Install the showerhead at a height that
best accommodates all users. The showerhead
height for a 5-foot, 3-inch person is 71
inches; for a 5-foot, 10-inch person, it's
78 inches. To accommodate both people, use
the average of the two measurements by
adding them together and dividing by two.
Other options include mounting two
showerheads, installing a handheld sprayer,
or buying a showerhead that can be adjusted
for height.
Toilet/Bidet
- Allow 36 x 36 inches of clearance in
front of the toilet or bidet, and reserve 16
inches from the center of the fixture to an
adjacent wall or other fixture.
- The toilet enclosure should measure at
least 36 inches wide and 66 inches deep.
Bathtub
- Standard tubs range from 54 to 60 to 72
inches long and 30 to 32 inches wide.
- A whirlpool tub is typically 36 inches
wide and 72 inches long, though many
different shapes and sizes are on the
market.
- Allow 30 inches of clearance in front of
the tub.
Lavatory
- Leave 15 inches from the center of the
sink to the adjacent wall or fixture and at
least 30 x 48 inches of space in front of
the sink.
- Twin vanity lavatories should be
separated by 30 inches, as measured from the
center one basin to the center of the other.
- The height of a standard vanity is 30 to
32 inches. Many people find that a height of
34 to 42 inches is more comfortable.
Determine the height that is most
comfortable to you.
Buying High-Quality Basics
Always buy the highest quality materials you
can. Especially when remodeling, you don’t want
to put time and money into installing inferior
equipment and products that won’t last and won’t
add to the value of your home. Bathroom
fixtures, in particular, are subjected to many
years of heavy-duty use. Buy the best that you
can afford.
