Bathrooms - Taking a Look at Building Regulations

According to a report on Bathrooms Design Guide , there are numerous building regulations that may have a bearing on the redesigning of bathrooms and, as such, are an important consideration before embarking on the renovation of bathrooms. More and more homeowners are looking to add value to their homes by rejuvenating their bathrooms and, it goes without saying, bathrooms are one of the easiest rooms to completely change with the minimum of fuss. Bathrooms have the capacity to be radically changed merely with the use of bathroom furniture or a new bathroom suite but before making any radical alterations to the room, it is always a good idea to seek out the advice of builders in order to establish whether there are any building regulations that will have an impact on the redesign of bathrooms in your home.

Bathrooms - Some Quick Pointers

The issue of building regulations relating to bathrooms can be quite overwhelming for homeowners but it is important not to overlook the issue. Just some of the basic building regulations for bathrooms include:

•  All bathrooms must have external ventilation of some sort. A window that opens will suffice but many homeowners choose to put extractor type fans in their bathrooms for additional ventilation of the room.

•  Bathrooms can only lead directly onto a bedroom (ensuite) providing that it is not the only bathroom in the property.

•  Bathrooms containing a WC must not open directly on to a living room, dining room or kitchen.

Bathrooms - Purpose of the Room

When it comes to bathrooms and building regulations, the key aspect to bear in mind is the purpose of the room. Many are looking to create ensuite bathrooms in their properties to add value to the home and these types of bathrooms are obviously subject to different building regulations than regular bathrooms and it is important to research this beforehand. Bathrooms are one of the most commonly used rooms in the home and it is of little surprise that they are often first on the agenda when it comes to redecorating and renovating.
