Hi!

What do you think about this master bathroom layout?

We didn’t really want the shower to be so hidden since we plan to outfit it in a high-quality and stylish way. It would be nice if it could be more visible, not just for showering. But during the plumbing planning, we were advised to keep it like this (because of the water pipes).

What’s your opinion? Or does anyone have an idea on how to create more visibility into the shower?

The two washbasins are marked incorrectly. We will only use one washbasin (1m wide (39 inches)). Our idea is to move the bathtub to where the washbasins are currently shown and place the washbasin on the right wall instead. We want the bathtub to have a prominent spot in the room instead of being “in the corner” when we bathe.

Currently planned components:
Toilet: Duravit Happy D.2 extended version, 25500900001

Washbasin: Villeroy & Boch Venticello 1000x500mm (39x20 inches), 4104ALR1

Bathtub: still considering either Villeroy & Boch Squaro Edge 12 Combipool Invisible (UIP190SQE2B1V96) or a Kaldewei Conoduo, both 190x90cm (75x35 inches) (235200010001)

Shower:
Villeroy & Boch shower tray Futurion or Squaro Infinity
Hansgrohe Axor ShowerSolutions thermostat module Select 530 / 90 for 3 outlets, 18356000
Hansgrohe Axor Shower Solutions 350 1jet overhead shower with ceiling connection, chrome, 26035000
Keuco meTime_spa waterfall showerhead, 59982010000
Hansgrohe Axor Starck 1jet handheld shower, chrome, 10531000

Looking forward to your feedback!

In our case, the rough-in plumbing and the finish installation are carried out by different companies.

To which phase should the wall-mounted elements for the toilets be assigned? I would have said the rough-in stage, but the installer is only scheduled to install three concealed cistern frames.

Is it sufficient to install these elements during the finish installation? Or should I definitely ask again? On the other hand, he now wants to know from us at what height the sinks, toilets, etc., should be mounted so that the pipes are laid accordingly.

We are getting the Geberit Duofix wall-hung toilet installation frame with the article number 111300005.

The mounting elements are installed during the rough construction phase. Anything else wouldn’t make sense. After all, other trades still need to follow, such as tilers, plasterers, and so on.

To me, that sounds questionably brilliant, like having one carpenter make the door frames and another make the door panels.

Is the toilet located on an exterior wall?

Then the structural carpenter definitely needs to seal the joints of the (bonded) aerated concrete blocks or similar inside the area of the pre-wall installation to make it airtight—otherwise, drafts can come through the flush actuator later and ruin the blower door test (and by that time, the tile backer and similar will already have been installed for a long time...).

It’s simply a matter of cost. I don’t see any reason to pay an extra €10,000 (about $11,000) just to have everything come from a single source.

Yes, the toilet is installed on the wall adjacent to the garage.

A difference of ten thousand euros between two quotes from plumbing specialists as potential savings just because one trade is split up? ? ? ? ? *scratches head* *disbelieving look*

Water can be very wet if the system isn’t perfectly sealed. For me, perfectly matching interfaces are important, which practically also means “from a single source” in terms of responsibility and warranty. I feel more secure when the thread cutter and the nut installer are the same person. Is my way of thinking too conservative?
