So SWMBO wants an illuminated make-up mirror in the shower room (one of those magnified things on a strut - these sort of things:
________________________________ | door to outside | | | ||sliding door| | X|| | | || | | || shower | |__worktop/sink__||____________|
Now, the best position to place the new mirror would be at point "X", ie on the reverse side of the stud partition. However, I'm not very clear about the bathroom zoning regulations in this regard. Most of these mirrors that I have found seem to be IP rated for Zone 3, which means they need to be sited >60cm away from the bath or shower, right? In my case, position "X" would fail that test, if you were to take a tape measure around the bulkhead of the partition... but is that how the rules are interpreted? Clearly there would be no danger of splashing or water jets from the shower, as the appliance is 'around the corner'. Is that what 60cm means?
Thoughts please?!
Thanks David
