3. Generally 25L/s air flow is adequate for toilet ventilation and odour control
• Ideally each bathroom should be located near a
Bedroom or the living room.
• The washrooms should be situated such a way that they
receive ample lighting that aids in eliminating bacteria.
• The direction of airflow must be outwards such that the
odour does not circulate in the home.
• Situating the washrooms on the hotter side of the
building also acts as shading the other interior spaces
from the sun.
6. THE IMPORTANCE OF WET AND DRY ZONES IN
YOUR BATHROOM DESIGN
• One of the most important current trends in bathroom design is finding stylish ways to separate the wet and dry
zones of your bathroom.
• WHAT IS THE WET ZONE?
The wet zone is the area of your bathroom where most of the water-based activity takes place. It needs to contain
your shower and bathtub, as well as towel rails close to hand.
• WHAT IS THE DRY ZONE?
The dry zone is the more commonly used area of the bathroom, containing the toilet and vanity. As this area of the
room is used by your guests as well as you and your family, it is important to keep it dry, so they don’t have to wipe
their feet after using the bathroom.
• WHY DESIGN SEPARATE WET AND DRY ZONES?
I. In a larger bathroom, you can create a partition wall to keep your two zones separate. However, if you choose
a full-length partition wall from floor to ceiling, you need to make sure that your bathroom does not look
cramped, and that both zones can still receive plenty of natural light.
II. smaller bathrooms, there are still many clever bathroom ideas for separating your wet and dry zones. You can
install an enclosed shower cubicle, or use a shower panel or shower doors to create a partition.
7. Mostly busy
Moderately
busy
Least busy
• While we discussed the
wet and dry two-zone
bathroom layout earlier,
we also need to make
sure that every item is in
its most functional and
practical place.
• Throughout the day, we
visit the vanity to wash
our hands, look in the
mirror and our guests
may also visit the vanity
so think about where you
want it placed.
• Avoid placing it at the
back of the room, to
reduce the foot traffic
through the room and
also keep it quickly
PLACEMENT IS KEY
8. WHAT ARE THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO BE LEFT?
• To ensure adequate space for movement and the convenient use of fixtures in the Bathroom, the
following minimum clearances must be observed. It should be noted that the fixture dimensions vary
a lot and hence the clearances are taken with respect to the centre-axis of the fixtures and the edges
of the fixtures.
