In older Khrushchev, it is very difficult to place the butt technique. In a small six-meter kitchen there is enough space for the refrigerator.

The dishwasher and washing machine to establish nowhere. With a separate bathroom, connect the washing machine in the bathroom only on the site of the washbasin. Combining the bathroom in Khrushchev gives you the opportunity to install a washing machine in the bathroom.

Pros and Cons Combining toilet with bathroom

When dismantling the wall you get an additional useful area and at the same time problems with the queue in the bathroom in the morning. It is necessary to weigh all the "for" and against "such redevelopment.

Advantages

1. Increase the useful area.

Combining bath and toilet allows you to increase the total area of \u200b\u200bthe bathroom and make it more spacious. If there is a plumbing in standard panel houses, the toilet has a size of 75x150 cm, a bath 130x150 cm. Santechkabine is a block that is manufactured at the factory and is installed during the construction of the house.

When installed, the distance between carrier walls and a plumbing from 5 to 15 cm remains, from the cab ceiling to the main ceiling - 15-20 cm.

The photo is clearly visible the distance between the roof of the cabin and the ceiling, and between the walls. On the roof of the cabin usually there is a construction trash, dust from which falls into the bathroom through ventilation.

After dismantling Santechkabina will increase the length of the walls and their height. There will be one door, which means that the place that was used to take place to the toilet is released for the washing machine. Instead of two close premises, you get one more or less spacious.

In case you have a regular brick partition between the bathroom and the toilet, you will get a little extra centimeters. But still the partition layer allows you to remove the "dead zones" and use the area of \u200b\u200bthe bath and toilet completely.

2. Smooth walls and straight angles.

Santechkabina walls are never smooth, and corners are straight. To high quality tile and correctly install the bath, you will need a layer of plaster at least 3 cm. The difference in the length of the walls is sometimes reaches 10 cm, which means that you do not have straight corners between the walls. It will not allow you to install the bath close to the walls. After alignment of the walls in the same plane and with straight corners, a small room is still reduced in size.

After dismantling the cabin, the wall can be put out of foam blocks, or assemble from drywall that will not require additional alignment.

3. Socusing the bathroom allows you to fulfill an interesting design to your taste.

What you need to know, starting to dismantle the santechkabin or partition

Combining the bathroom in the panel house will require not just a broken partition, but to dismantle the santechkabin installed during the construction of the house.

If you do not specify in the apartment in the apartment that the cabin is installed - it can be easily defined by itself. If there is a plumbing ceiling below, the floor level is higher than in other rooms. The cabin can be made of reinforced concrete, plaster, or asbetic plates. If the cabin is made of reinforced concrete - it will be difficult to dismantle it.

You should get a resolution of redevelopment. Socusing the bathroom is not always possible. If the partition between the bathroom and the toilet is the bearing wall - it is impossible to touch it. Also, not in all cases allowed to dismantle Santechkabin.

The dismantling permit must be official. You need not just to buy a piece of paper, but to get the conclusion of specialists that a sanitary house can be removed in your apartment without consequences. Santechkabine - non-carrier walls, but still serve as the edge of stiffness in the building.

It is better to trust the Santechkabin layer professionals. It is professionals, rather than gastarbayters, ready to take any job without knowing. There is a risk of injury when the ceiling is collapsed, electric shock. Not only is it in itself unpleasant - when an accident occurs in your apartment, you will also be responsible for bringing people to work without permission to work and register.
