Partition between bathroom and toilet: how to combine beauty and functionality


We are rarely satisfied with what we have, especially with regard to the appearance of our home. Almost all apartments and houses are constantly undergoing some kind of redevelopment; this trend could not help but affect such an intimate corner of our homes as bathrooms. Those who have separate toilets and bathtubs combine them, but it often happens, on the contrary, that in a combined bathroom a partition is installed between the bathtub and toilet. In order to prevent annoying mistakes in such construction, you need to know and take into account quite a lot. Let's look at all the intricacies of this important stage of repair work.

Pros and cons

When determining the design of the room, it is necessary to take into account the advantages and disadvantages of each scheme. For living alone or for a family of 2 people, a combined structure is suitable. But as the number of people increases, it is recommended to install a light or solid dividing partition in the room, which will expand the capabilities of the bathroom.

Combined bathroom

The combined block has disadvantages:

  • poor ventilation, this deficiency can be eliminated by using additional air ducts and an electric fan;
  • inconvenient layout, making it difficult to install a shower stall or washing machine.

Separate bathroom

Advantages of a room with an additional bulkhead:

  • possibility of simultaneous use of the bathroom by 2 family members;
  • improving ventilation conditions.

Frame-panelled

Frame-paneled sanitary partitions have a higher cost, but are easier to install due to their lightness. However, when installing them, you must consult with a specialist or use his services, otherwise the result may be disappointing.

The frame-panel partition belongs to the panel models. For installation, a frame made of aluminum, steel or plastic is required. The canvas is made using MDF, chipboard or fiberboard. Sometimes opaque plastic is used.

Law and regulation

Since installing a bulkhead is considered a redevelopment, information must be included in the technical passport of the apartment. Documentation adjustments are carried out by the BTI (Bureau of Technical Inventory) and the Housing Inspectorate on the basis of a project approved by the construction commission. The owner can build a wall without permission using bricks or lightweight building materials. But when selling a home, the passport is verified; the discovery of an extra bulkhead leads to penalties and an order to remove the structure.

Required Permissions

To obtain approval you will need:

  • passport of the owner of the premises;
  • document confirming ownership;
  • technical passport for residential premises;
  • a redevelopment project prepared by a company licensed to perform such work;
  • permission from a financial institution for premises that are pledged (for example, purchased with a mortgage).

The standard scheme allows you to separate the bathroom from the toilet while maintaining the area of ​​adjacent rooms or corridors. Some owners order projects that involve moving the walls of neighboring rooms, which allows them to increase the size of the bathroom. BTI employees analyze the project and make a decision on the possibility or prohibition of redevelopment.

All actions of the state supervisory authority are based on the set of rules SNiP 31-03-2003.

After completing the work, it is necessary to obtain an act signed by representatives of the company that separated the combined bathroom with a partition. An employee of the Housing Inspectorate inspects the bathroom and certifies with a signature a document confirming the correctness of the redevelopment. The owner of the property must submit the act to the BTI, which issues a new technical passport.

Requirements for remodeling a bathroom

Basic standards that must be followed when carrying out work:

  • Demolition or partial destruction of load-bearing partitions is not allowed;
  • it is not allowed to expand wet areas into adjacent rooms due to insufficient waterproofing of the floors;
  • The floor of the bathroom should be 20-25 mm below the base of adjacent rooms to reduce the risk of flooding of the apartment.

When placing equipment indoors, you should take into account the recommendations set out in SNiP. There are no strict requirements for maintaining clearances; if the rules are violated, no penalties are provided. For example, the distance from the front edge of the toilet to the door must be at least 600 mm, the free space in front of the bathtub or shower according to the standards is 700 mm.

Criterias of choice

Among the products presented on the market, it is quite difficult to independently choose sanitary partitions made of HPL or other materials, because you should choose not only by price. will save not only money, but also time. There is a phone number on the website where you can call the company. Our company provides consultations to clients, calculations and formation of commercial proposals free of charge. Our specialist will tell you what to pay attention to first, so that the wall serves as a reliable shelter, and the client is satisfied with the result.

  • First of all, you should focus on compliance with the budget allocated for construction. At the same time, no matter what class of false walls you choose from the options presented on the website, they will be the strongest and most durable.
  • Structures must be as safe as possible. Partitions made of HPL are highly resistant to loads and have a service life of 25 years.
  • The quality and reliability of partitions depends not only on the material, but also on the fittings. You can always select accessories and equipment elements of any design, size, color.
  • When choosing partitions, countertops made of HPL and artificial stone, you should take into account that they should harmoniously fit into the overall design style of the toilet rooms. Modern technologies make it possible to decorate bathrooms in company offices in a corporate color scheme.

How to Prepare for Separation

Preparatory work is divided into stages:

  • determining the dimensions of the toilet and bathroom and developing a rough layout;
  • finding a place to install an additional door block;
  • selection of building materials for partitions;
  • preparation of design documentation suitable for submission to supervisory authorities.

Room measurements

You should measure the bathroom using a tape measure or laser range finder, and then determine the position of the partition in compliance with SNiP. It is necessary to take into account the thickness of the bulkhead, which depends on the material used. The data obtained allows you to perform a preliminary layout of the premises and find out the possibility of installing a shower cabin or washing machine.

Determining the location for the second door

If the bathroom was equipped with a bulkhead, then it is necessary to determine the position of the door, which was sealed by the previous owners. If you combine a toilet and a bathroom according to the house design, you will need to cut an additional opening.

If the external partition is load-bearing, then the Housing Inspectorate and BTI will prohibit the conversion of the premises.

It is difficult to arrange a passage in the internal bulkhead due to the small area of ​​the premises.

Selection of materials

Since the transverse bulkhead in the bathroom is not a load-bearing element, any material can be used for manufacturing. When selecting, it is necessary to take into account sound insulation indicators and the minimum thickness of the structure. For example, when using plasterboard, the partition will have a thickness of up to 100 mm; when choosing plastic panels, the parameter will decrease by 1.5-2 times.

Project preparation

The homeowner must contact a licensed company, which will prepare a package of documents. Current legislation does not provide for independent development of a project. The drawings indicate the dimensions of the premises, the type of bulkheads, the installation locations of door blocks and the entry of water supply and sewerage lines.

Stages of erection of structures

The partition in a combined bathroom should be well thought out. In order to avoid missing important details, we advise you to adhere to the scheme below:

  • Before installing anything, you need to clean the room, dismantle old (if they are not needed) materials, remove plumbing, furniture and other items.
  • In a case like this, the importance of markup cannot be overestimated. Carefully measure all the components of your room, step back the required distance from the plumbing and draw a line on the floor. Then, using a plumb line or level, proceed to marking the walls. If the partition is planned for the ceiling, then using the same tools the line continues onto its plane.
  • Installation of the frame. It all depends on what you will make it from and how to fasten it. Prepare the tools and material, carefully consider the fastening step and get to work!
  • Facing. According to the chosen material, we sew up the frame (if we are not talking about monolithic partitions) or cover the resulting wall.
  • We return plumbing fixtures, furniture, and accessories to their place.

Features for different houses

The procedure for combining bathroom premises does not differ from the type and time of construction of the house. External bulkheads are not load-bearing (with the exception of panel houses); the owner can use any building material.

"Stalinka"

In residential buildings built according to designs from the 30s to the 50s. last century, in the bathrooms there was a dividing bulkhead made of wooden beams with light cladding. When re-building, you can use brick or plasterboard sheets; the structure is not load-bearing. It is necessary to provide cutouts in the partition for water pipes and sewer lines.

"Khrushchevka"

Most houses are from the 50s and 60s. In the last century, bathrooms were combined, but there are projects with separate toilets and bathtubs. Any material can be used to restore the wall. The situation gets worse in panel houses, in which the bathroom is made in the form of a single reinforced concrete capsule. It is prohibited to destroy the structure due to the violation of the strength of the building.

New building

When purchasing housing in a new building, the premises are often left unfinished. If the bathroom does not have a bulkhead, then the owner can erect it during the renovation, having previously received approval from the supervisory authorities and making adjustments to the technical passport.

Some developers offer separation of the bathroom at the stage of building a house; in this case, the buyer of the apartment immediately receives documents that contain a wall between the toilet and the bathroom.

Fashion trends in decoration

Most often, the design of a bathroom is developed taking into account the fact that the walls will be lined with ceramic tiles. Until recently, there were no competitors for this material. Today, mosaic is becoming more and more popular. This is a very small tile (glass or ceramic) glued to a polymer mesh. Small tiles usually have several shades, which gives the walls an interesting look and is present in most modern bathroom interiors.

The mosaic looks attractive

The same trends are observed in the design of bathroom walls - combining tiles of different colors and shades. Just like when combining wallpaper, manufacturers produce tiles in collections whose design is designed so that they are combined with each other.

Bathroom design using tiles from one collection

The design styles of bathrooms have also changed - they are increasingly decorating the room with a modern style, in the spirit of minimalism or hi-tech. When creating such an interior, rectangular shaped plumbing fixtures and a minimum of colors are used. All these styles are characterized by neutral tones for the walls - white, gray, beige. And against this background there may already be several bright elements from a compatible range.

Minimalist style in bathroom design - no unnecessary details

However, modern plumbing itself can be decor. There are very decorative forms with graceful outlines.

Rebuilding the main wall

The construction of a permanent partition made of brick leads to a reduction in the area of ​​the room. Since combined bathrooms do not have a standard wall, the use of a load-bearing bulkhead is not required. The owner can use brickwork, which reduces noise levels or allows ventilation ducts or sewer pipes to be laid inside.

In small rooms, the bulkhead is built from bricks laid on the side surface, which reduces the weight of the structure and preserves the usable area of ​​the bathroom.

Is it possible with your own hands?

The owner of the apartment can build the structure with his own hands, but if there is no experience in construction work, it is recommended to invite specialists. It is necessary to clarify in advance the possibility of independent actions with the Housing Inspectorate, since upon acceptance of work, an act certified by the seal of the company that carried out the repairs may be required.


The partition can be erected from brick or aerated concrete.

What you need

To carry out construction work you will need:

  • bricks or aerated concrete blocks;
  • dry mix for masonry;
  • concrete mixer or container with an electric mixer;
  • building level and plumb line;
  • hammer and angle grinder for cutting building material;
  • trowel or notched trowel;
  • tape measure and cord for marking lines of rows of bricks;
  • rubber hammer for uniform compaction of masonry.

Preparation

At the preparatory stage it is necessary:

  1. Remove old tiles from horizontal and vertical surfaces, remove damaged areas of concrete or brick walls.
  2. Remove the decorative coating from the ceiling or peel off a layer of paint.
  3. Cut grooves in the bulkheads and lay plastic water supply pipes, calculating the consumer connection points in advance.
  4. Treat the surfaces with an antibacterial primer and seal cracks and grooves with pipes.
  5. Install plastic sewer lines; it is not necessary to change the cast iron riser.
  6. Check the quality of the screed and, if necessary, level the surface with a special mixture or cement.
  7. Apply markings indicating the location of the major bulkhead made of brick or aerated concrete blocks.
  8. Disconnect electrical wiring for the bathroom and toilet.

How to do masonry indoors

To build a brick partition, you need:

  1. Apply a thin layer of mortar to the flooring and lay out the bottom row of bricks laid on the side edge. Remove excess construction mixture and check the relative position of the elements with a hydraulic level.
  2. Lay the second row, arranging the elements in a checkerboard pattern. Check the relative position of the bricks and remove excess cement squeezed out of the joints.
  3. Place the bulkhead to a height of up to 1 m and wait for the mixture to harden. It is not recommended to erect the entire masonry, since the bricks may slip and the surface will bend.
  4. Bring the structure to the ceiling, bypassing water or sewer pipes. In the upper part it is necessary to provide a window for installing a ventilation duct.
  5. After the mortar has hardened, treat the bricks with an antibacterial primer and perform rough plaster; it is not recommended to lay tiles directly on the masonry.

Other separation methods

In addition to the capital structure, you can build:

  • lightweight construction made of chipboard or solid wood with shelves for storing household utensils;
  • a simplified brick bulkhead with a height of up to 1.5 m;
  • frame structure covered with plasterboard sheets or plastic panels;
  • tension screen made of synthetic fabric;
  • a separate niche that partially hides the toilet;
  • bulkhead made of impact-resistant glass coated with matte paint.

Wardrobe instead of partition

Instead of a wall, you can mount a cabinet made of chipboard sheets. Niches are used for storing household chemicals or various household equipment. When arranging the structure, it is necessary to seek a compromise between the width of the shelves and the area of ​​the room.

Protection of surfaces from moisture and places for laying water supply and sewerage pipes should be provided.

Low brick partition

Instead of a full wall, you can build a partition 1.2-1.5 m high. The upper part is used for storing household chemicals, the outer surfaces are tiled. The design allows you to separate the toilet from the bathroom, but does not provide a complete division of the room into zones. Used when it is impossible to install an additional door.

Frame or plastic partition

To zone the room, you can use a frame structure filled with mineral wool and covered with sheets of plasterboard or plastic panels. A frame made of wooden beams or a steel profile is attached to the ceiling or floor, and technological hatches are provided for servicing the pipes. The design allows you to create niches for storing household chemicals.


Zoning option in the bathroom.

Screen installation

The design consists of guides to which a sheet or panel made of thin plastic is attached. The advantage is the possibility of quick installation and removal; the bulkhead does not need to be included in the technical passport, but approval for the installation of an additional door to the bathroom is required from the Housing Inspectorate. The screen is suitable for dividing the room in case of guests visiting, but the design does not protect against the penetration of noise and odors.

Niche organization

If the owner of a living space does not want to cut an additional doorway or remodel the premises, then a separate niche can be allocated for installing a toilet. For construction, drywall is used, mounted on a metal or wooden frame. The scheme does not improve ventilation conditions and is suitable for bathrooms with a small area.

Glass partition compartment

A panel made of impact-resistant glass reliably separates the toilet from the bathroom. For mounting on the floor, ceiling and walls, guide profiles are installed. If necessary, the structure is dismantled and approval must be obtained for the redevelopment of the entrances to the bathroom. The owner must provide separate ventilation for the premises; the ducts are installed under a suspended or slatted ceiling.


Separating glass partitions in the bathroom.

Bulkhead made of plasterboard sheets

GCR is the most versatile of all available materials. It has a number of positive qualities, namely:

  • Easy to cut and install. Even a beginner can handle it
  • Light weight. There is no need to hire a team of movers to deliver plasterboard sheets to the premises.
  • Quick installation of the frame - put a metal profile on the marked sketch - it takes 2-3 hours
  • Possibility of using figures of any complexity and any finishing materials in design

But it also has disadvantages - with its dense structure, its thickness is at least 5 cm. Therefore, a bathroom partition made of plasterboard will take up a little more space than one made of glass. In addition, gypsum board is afraid of damp rooms.

Important! Due to the fact that the bathroom is a room with high humidity, it is necessary to choose special moisture-resistant drywall.

Installation of gypsum boards begins with determining the mounting location for the racks in increments of 50 cm, as well as with markings on the ceiling and wall.

Guide profiles are fixed according to this sketch. The distance between the fasteners is 100 cm, and between the wall and the edge of the metal - 50 cm.

The length of the stand is 2 cm less than the height of the ceiling. At a height of more than 250 cm, the structure must be strengthened.

Next, one of the sides is sheathed with plasterboard sheets using self-tapping screws. The intermediate space is filled with mineral wool.

Attention! When working with glass wool, you must wear goggles and gloves to avoid injury.

Having filled the inside with filler, the second side is sheathed. The final touch remains: decorating the partition

First, plaster tape is glued to the joint, then covered with putty, and a primer is applied. Further design work is done at the discretion of the owner.

How to furnish a smaller bathroom

Due to the reduction in space, owners are faced with the problem of placing a washing machine or a wide sink. In this case, you can install a shower stall and washbasin in the corner of the room, using the saved space to place a washing machine or a rack for storing household chemicals and shower accessories. The homeowner needs to think over the layout before starting redevelopment, since demolition of the bulkhead will entail additional costs and require re-approval of the project by the Housing Inspectorate and BTI.

Examples of dividing a bathroom with your own hands - photos of the results

A series of photographs show options for the layout of bathrooms after installing the walls. The owner of the apartment determines the position of the door and partition depending on the design of the house and the list of equipment that is planned to be installed in the bathroom. If there is insufficient space, some of the equipment will have to be moved to adjacent rooms. For example, a washing machine is installed in the hallway or integrated into a kitchen unit.

Glass

Glass sanitary partitions are a modern and convenient option. For their production, tempered glass and triplex are used.

The surface of tempered glass is covered with special glue and protective film. The strength of the material is 5-10 times higher than that of ordinary glass. It is shock resistant. Even if it breaks, the danger to people is minimal, since the material crumbles into pieces without sharp corners.

Triplex consists of several layers connected under high temperature and pressure. Has high strength. The surface is covered with film. When broken, the fragments do not fly apart, but remain inside the layers of the film.

Important points when installing glass partitions are not only the type of glass, but also the presence of additional decorative elements, the number of fittings, the type of structure (solid or frame), the presence of doors, and geometric shape. This affects the complexity of installation and the cost of partitions. They are often made to order.

Necessary tool for the job

The set of tools that will be needed when installing sanitary partitions includes:

  • drill;
  • screwdriver;
  • level;
  • roulette;
  • marker;
  • hammer for dowel-nails;
  • drywall cutter (if the panels are made of this material);
  • machine or metal scissors;
  • beams to strengthen the opening (for a structure with a door).

The correct choice of fasteners influences the strength of the structure. The elements are fixed to the walls and ceiling with dowels and screws. The frame parts are connected with metal screws and a press washer. If drywall is used, it is secured using screws with a countersunk head, which does not protrude on the surface, but is recessed.

Accessories for sanitary partitions

Fittings for sanitary partitions perform not only a decorative function. When choosing it, you need to take into account the fact that in public places the daily number of locks in toilet stalls is opened in the hundreds. The fittings must withstand heavy loads, so high demands are placed on their quality.

You need to choose fittings based on the type of partitions. It must combine reliability and convenience, and also correspond to the overall design. Sometimes the fittings indicate the status of the establishment. Institutions trying to maintain their image use expensive fittings.

A typical kit consists of the following elements:

  • pen;
  • loops;
  • floor supports.
  • valve (often in public toilets they use a valve with an occupancy indicator).

Sometimes additional elements are used, such as handrails for people with disabilities, hooks for bags, a shelf for a cell phone.
