Dear forum members,
For our new build, we are considering whether or not to install a stud wall in front of the washbasins.
The plumbing company says that both the supply and drain pipes can be installed inside the wall (in the ground floor in a Poroton wall and upstairs in a drywall partition). I think it’s a good idea on the ground floor since we don’t have much space in the guest bathroom anyway. Upstairs, I am wondering whether
A) you might hear water running in the adjoining room through the pipes in the wall if they are not properly sound-insulated,
B) the stud wall might be needed anyway for placing items. Otherwise, you would either need a very wide vanity unit or an additional shelf or mirror cabinet above the basin.
What do you think is better?
Thanks in advance.

Have you lost track of your individual topics, or why are you asking about this sub-sub-aspect separately here?
We are already in the middle of discussing your bathroom at: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/vorwand-im-Bad-og-direkt-neben-Fenster.30661/ True, I could have asked there as well. That was more about a conduit, while here it’s about wall claddings. I thought it would be better to keep them separate.

Since I already have a vertical pipe shaft in the corner of the bathroom where the sink will be installed, I could incorporate it and continue it as a stud wall. If the step is deep, you need to consider whether and how you want to install a mirror, as you might end up standing too far away from your own reflection due to a large sink and the step.

The step is max. 20cm (8 inches) and the washbasin would be 50cm (20 inches).

I thought it would be better to separate the topics.I think almost only I still keep track of this “counter team” in the forum when someone analyzes the same house from seven different angles. Whether you just box in one conduit or extend that box around the corner to place a soap dish on it belongs, in my opinion, in the same thread — even the main and secondary bathrooms shouldn’t be separated. Otherwise, it becomes user-unfriendly, at least for multifaceted puzzle solvers like you or @blaupuma. The “user experience” of fellow discussants shouldn’t be turned into a “challenge” or even an “adventure.” In my view, too much “structuring” overwhelms the community.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
