Boxing in a boiler (was Installing toilet in internal bathroom)
(David) wrote in message . com...
As a follow-up to my recent post on minimum bedroom sizes; I want to
create a bedroom by moving the bathroom to an internal room, and the
major issue with doing this seems to involve moving the toilet.
Could the panel let me know if there's a flaw in my plan?
I sure hope there's a floor in your plan, as using the loo with no
floor is a dodgy business.
Further to the above, another issue I have is the fact that the
existing bathroom (the new bedroom) has a boiler in it, situated in
the corner directly above the existing loo. Bizarre or what?
Simple way to use space efficiently.
My plan is to build a cupboard around the boiler, and probably to put
up a new, small, stud partition alongside it such that the boiler will
be located in a cupboard at the end of the landing rather than in what
will be a bedroom. Are there any pitfalls (ventilation, regulations
etc?) which I need to be aware of, eg having a boiler in the bedroom
or landing? It's a combi job (Sime Friendly Format 100E).
Boiler in bedroom is fine, but be aware they put out a lot of heat,
acting like a radiator. When you chop up your room you're gonig to
change the heat distribution, just be aware of that and plan for some
sensible balance.
I just re-read: you will presumably need a good dose of cupboard
ventilation.
