Methods for selecting materials used in designing bathrooms and their measurements
Start bathroom material selection with fittings, movement and storage, then coordinate floors, walls and accessories with the budget. One attractive sample is not a complete system.
Coordinate finishes with waterproofing, drains, joints, falls and fittings. Tile or grout alone does not establish a watertight system. Select wet-use products from their data and coordinate electrical fittings against local requirements.
Review samples, cleaning, fixings, joints and repair access. Record actual dimensions and service locations before ordering to avoid clashes between doors, drawers and fixtures.
