software and bathrooms

Hah! Too much television.

This I have found to be brilliant - it covers Kitchens and Bathrooms

Supposed to be commercial use, but very easy to get on with

I've decided that 800mm would be too narrow for my ensuite and have plumped for 900mm. Luckily my hallway is exactly 900mm wide, so I was able to mock it up when the suite arrived. 900mm is reasonably comfortable, given that the basin will be opposite the door, giving extra room for the posterior. However, 800mm would probably be too narrow. Although 800mm is doable for the toilet, you'd need to find an extra shallow hand basin.

If you went for 900mm, I reckon you could make a bathroom out of the remaining 1500x2900, especially as the master bedroom has an en-suite.

It might be possible to shorten the en-suite by a small amount. I can't remember how long toilets are to check, though. It might not fit. This could provide a valuable cupboard either for a hot water cylinder (if needed) or for towel/toiletries storage for the main bathroom.

hovering 200mm above it but it's very easy to use, highly intuitive to the point of not having to refer to the manaul and getting a 3D representation of my kitchen within half an hour of just fiddling about with it.

does bathrooms, too. obv.

I like this online one...

There's plenty of CAD-like stuff which would help with the layout - but that's the easy bit anyway, and can just as easily be done on the back of an envelope.

The tricky bit is sorting the plumbing - particularly routing the toilet waste to the soil stack - taking account of joist positions, etc. It would probably take longer to model that with software than it would to do it!

you cant its against the regs. ;-)

you need a wall, then select the CONSTRAINTS and pick a window

make sure you put the shelf on the inside

sorry, no idea. as I said: I didn't RTFM and only played with it for half an hour or so.

that's a very good point, well made. often the poo stack will dictate at least which side of the room the loo goes on and that in turn will affect the layout.

my father in law has done several self builds / £200K+ refurbs using a drawing board, an A2 graph paper pad and a few rotring pens.

There's a cure for that.

maybe so !

And it also makes plumbing for the shower a bit easier as well!

Wot no basin in the bathroom?

I left it to the imagination of the reader.

it does, the soil pipe is at the back of the room above floor level so any toilets have to be on that wall
