Recommended by a neighbour, this customer asked us to quote for renovating their bathroom.  The only problem was they were not really sure what they wanted or where.

The only thing they did know was that one half of the couple wanted a nice deep bath and the other a large separate shower enclosure!

Having selected their suite, we set about designing a room to fit (a little different to the norm!) and this involved dropping the main stud wall which the door and sink are against now and re-erecting it 30cm/12" further out into the corridor to allow the space to install the suite.

Following a request for input from ourselves, we added under-tile heating, 2 lit recesses above the bath for decoration purposes and a large format tile (luxurious, rich colour selected by our client).

Unfortunately, before pictures were not taken - not through forgetfulness but because they would be difficult to tie in the with the new layout given the whole room was demolished and re-built.

When plasterboarding the exterior walls, we suggested the use of an insulated plasterboard with damp proof membrane in it to combat the lack of cavity between the inner and outer walls.  In addition, whilst on-site our client asked us to fully re-board and re-plaster the bedroom to the rear of this bathroom, again using insulated boards.

AWI designed, helped specify, supplied & installed this bathroom.
