What Does The Regulation Require In The Reform Of A Bathroom

Have you ever thought about reforming your bathroom? You may not know that there is a regulation that regulates from the minimum dimensions that the toilets should have to, for example, the minimum height required by the space. Each and every one of the spaces of a house has some legal specifications. From Arizona Construction Services we summarize those of the bathrooms.

Bathroom Reform: Minimum Surface

The law establishes that the minimum surface area of ​​a bathroom is 3 m2 and that of a 1.5 m2 toilet. The law also includes that all homes must have space for personal hygiene with the corresponding provision of bathroom. The houses with three or more bedrooms will have an additional space for personal hygiene with the corresponding provision for cleaning.

Bath Conditioners

  • The space for physiological evacuation will be located in a compartmentalized enclosure, which may house the personal hygiene area.
  • Any enclosure or area of ​​the house in which a bathtub or a shower is located, shall be considered as a humid place for the purposes of the Basic Document HS 3 Interior air quality of the Technical Building Code, and its surface finishes shall comply with the provisions of Article.
  • When the house has more than one bedroom, a space for personal hygiene can be accessed from the circulation spaces of the house.

The bathroom and toilet will not be the only step to access another room or enclosure.

Minimum Height

In the house, the minimum free height, according to regulations, is 2.50 m, with pick-ups up to 2.20 m, with floor occupancy of each enclosure of up to 10% of its useful surface. In circulation spaces, bathrooms, toilets and kitchens, the minimum free height will be 2.20 m.

Natural Lighting

It is evident that both if we attend to aesthetic and hygienic conditions, natural lighting is more than recommended in any bathroom.

However, the truth is that the law does not require the existence of natural light in these types of spaces.

Specifically, he says: “the enclosures or areas with the exception of access, bathroom or toilet and storage room, will have glazed openings outside for lighting.”

Indispensable Elements In A Bathroom

The regulations establish that the essential elements in a bathroom are: a washbasin and a shower or bathtub with hot and cold water supply and a toilet with cold water supply. All of them provided with evacuation with hydraulic closure.

Finally, it is necessary to highlight that the regulations approve the design and quality conditions corresponding to the various situations that arise for the construction of a house, whether it is a new construction, containing adapted homes, affecting buildings destined for accommodation or Try a rehab.

Why Opt For Custom Furniture

When it comes to furnishing our home, the usual thing is to opt for conventional furniture. After browsing magazines, catalogs and visiting dozens of establishments, we choose the type of furniture that best suits our tastes, needs and budget. However, there are already many people who have discovered the innumerable advantages of having custom furniture in their home. Do we review and do you know them too?

One of the clearest advantages of custom furniture is the possibility it offers us to take advantage of spaces that would otherwise have no use. By presenting the bathroom in an irregular way, it offered us the opportunity to design practical custom-made wooden furniture next to the mirror and the toilet. Surely now you see more clearly what we want to convey! No furniture would have adjusted to space with this perfection. This type of small spaces in which it seems that nothing fits, are the ideal place to opt for a customized solution.

Tailored Kitchens, One Of Our Specialties

When in Arizona, we face a comprehensive reform project, whenever we can design the kitchen completely tailored. It is true that we can, and we know, adapt modules to any space, but it is also true that if we want to multiply the storage capacity of kitchen furniture and that the space distils a unique personality, custom design offers us many more possibilities. The island acts as a backbone in the day area and, both this and the kitchen furniture we designed it to fit perfectly on the surface we had.

Custom Furniture Offers The Possibility To Customize Your Home

In a world where homogenization and standardization are imposed, it is a real luxury to have custom pieces of furniture designed specifically for a specific place in your home. With the same floating parquet that we use for the pavement, we have given a solution to the headboard. In this way we have an element that fits perfectly to the space and that is also visually integrated into it. And let’s not forget, a customized solution is always a unique solution.

Completely Adapt A Space To Your Needs Thanks To Custom Furniture

Sometimes we have a stay where we plan to develop a specific activity. We have clear needs, but we have not just found the furnishing solutions that best fit our requirements. That’s when custom furniture becomes an excellent option!

Do not believe that all custom solutions go through the use of wood. We custom designed an incredible metal shelving that completely covers one of the vertical walls of the living room. The contrast with the brick face we love and we take advantage of this area of ​​the house to the millimeter.

How To Reform A Home Respecting The Old Elements

In recent years there are many who have chosen to reform a home instead of acquiring a new one. Inheriting or buying an old house and transforming it to our liking is fascinating, since it will always have more personality than any other.

Our renovation company in Arizona has its own staff of technicians specialized in recovering the old elements, provided that they have enough value to decide to work and respect them. Do you want to know how we do it? We explain it to you with a tour of some of our recent projects.

Respecting the past without losing sight of today was the challenge in the integral reform of this house in Arizona. Maintaining the original ceilings and moldings, as well as the impressive nolla pavement constituted two important premises of the owners. Therefore, after an analysis and seeing that they had great interest, we did so. The result is obvious, don’t you think?

It is not the first time, (nor will it be the last) that we find some moldings and pavement worthy of being recovered and preserved. In this reform in the city of Arizona, we chose to keep the beautiful hydraulic tile in all the rooms where it was possible. In the dining room area the existing hydraulic tile had no great value, so we made a screed concrete screed with two hydraulic tile carpets recovered from one of our works.

In Arizona Construction Services, we always find the solution for each case. In one of the many integral reforms that we carried out in the neighborhood of Arizona we did not have enough tiles for the whole house, since in some areas they were broken or damaged. Therefore, we chose to lift the pieces in good condition and create carpets around the new smooth color hydraulic tiles, without drawing, which we managed to dye the same color as the original ones. The decorative effect is spectacular, don’t you think?

Another of the ancient elements we usually encounter is the brick face. Of different sizes and colors depending on the materials and additives used, it can also have a decorative function in addition to its structural function. In fact, we like the old ones much more than the current ones since they were hand molded, with a texture and finishes that provide great warmth.

The great kings of the brick seen are the halls of high ceilings, large windows and industrial air. So that its characteristic orange hue does not saturate so much, we can paint it white.

There is no better tribute to a glorious past than to maintain, if possible, the elements that made it up. Doors, pavements, shutters and moldings can be perfectly preserved with a job done by professionals that guarantee the quality of the finishes. In Arizona Construction Services, we are highly qualified for this task and we enjoy seeing the result in our integral reform projects.
