Who here has a T-wall in their bathroom, with the toilet and shower located behind it?

How wide is your bathroom, specifically the room width parallel to the T-wall where the sink is usually installed?

What is the minimum bathroom width needed for the T-wall to be wide enough to effectively separate the toilet and shower, while still leaving enough space on both sides for access?

I would estimate that a room width of at least 300 cm (10 feet) is needed: 80 cm (31.5 inches) passage width to the toilet on one side, about 140 cm (55 inches) for the T-wall in the center, and another 80 cm (31.5 inches) passage width to the shower on the other side.

I am currently planning my shower bathroom or bathroom.
My architect suggests installing the connections for the washbasins in a type of pre-wall installation, with a depth of about 15 cm (6 inches), as this is common nowadays.
I think this takes up space, especially since the showers are not very large.
Wall thickness 11 or 11.5?
Is my architect right?

Yes.

Why do you want to doubt him? There must have been a reason why you chose him in the first place.

No, I don’t mistrust him. It was just a question of whether this is still common practice today. I built a house 10 years ago, and back then all the pipes for washbasins were still installed inside the walls.

No offense, but why don't you start a new thread, or does your question have something to do with the topic "Required width of the bathroom for a T-layout (T-wall)"?

Sorry, I guess I will do that then.
