not valid idea. Bad idea. very bad.

- Forget about double basin for a small place.
- The more you wish to alter to your design eventually will just make it hard for the one using the space.
- small space need proper thinking; area circulation is crucial also. icon_idea.gif
- back wall piping also another consideration. smile.gif

Good solution. Unfortunately, I cannot change the door position. It's a newly built bathroom.
I don't like the bathroom door directly facing the room door. Meaning see the bathroom door once enter the room.
Thus, I change the bathroom door to the side.

I think now I have to:
- use wall hung basin
- use bi-fold door or install a door to swing backward

Everything is done, including tiles. My contractor never say anything! When he built this toilet,
He is the one who recommended this size of toilet! I did not realize it that small!

6' x 6' is not small if you only have one door. My 1st floor shared toilet was around that size when build, luck I notice it earlier and lengthen it to 9.5', else I will have the same headache.

Contractor especially the old school will always think is enough because they still think of old school style like wall sink, no shower screen.

then you are in for troubles.

I guess the solution you are seeking are pretty deadlock.

If the wall build are not structural then its okay; if it is, kind of hard.
But since you did not see work out & base it on contractor idea; i guess there is cost incur if you want to do serious alteration.

I have 2 rooms with a shared bathroom. The bathroom is quite small. My contractor suggested two bi-fold doors for this bathroom.
I don't like bi-fold door. 2 bi-fold door, lagi i don't like. What if install a swing door which open the other way round? I mean swing out,
instead of swing in the bathroom. Any advise/comment is welcomed. Thanks.

You sure that Reliance still has this? blink.gif
I had a talk with the Reliance installer (sifu level) around 3 months ago and he says that they discontinued this item.
Main reason is that the levelling workmanship in many homes are not up to standard to accommodate this door type.
