I'm busy framing out a small bathroom on a small off grid cabin. Came across this completely by accident and picked up at least 5 great tips on things I hadn't through about. Not a professional, just doing this for a small personal project. Old video but still so good, thanks!

I will say read the manufacturers insulation with the Ledger boards around for support because most acrylic bathtubs do NOT allow that and actually mention not to put a support board around underneath the tub lip! 🇨🇦🍀 #TileOn

Great video thankyou! a question about the first dampcourse option over the bath. I understand how the shower base one works as you the dampcourse is directing water into the shower base. But how is the one for the bath helping if the bath is sitting on top of the dampcourse? Where is it directing the water to? Thanks

Hi Mate, in that situation the water is just being prevented from getting into the timber, there is no real direction for it to flow.

Again, great video really helpful and in depth. A question I do have not so much directly in regards to this video but does a ensuite bathroom window need to follow a specific AS depending on the size of the bathroom? Sorry if this is a silly question I've just found it hard to find a clear answer in the Aus Standards. Thanks again mate

Hi passo1493 I'm not aware of a AS based on the size of the bathroom however the Building Code (National Construction Code) state that there should be an area equal to 10% of the floor area letting light and 5% letting in ventilation. This is normally achieved using a window however skylights and solar tubes can also contribute. If the Window is to be situated over a Bath then it needs to be laminated to prevent shattering. Thats all I know of the top of my head it might be worth talking to a local window manufacturer if you want to know more Thanks for your questions and feedback

wow.... i never thought about putting in a noggin for the future bath towels rail nor has i been given this option.... but i do now. i like the full sheet of ply for the shower screen. When you were talking about the foam under the bathtub, instead of and cement. what sort of form are you referring to? and is this a good idea? thanks

@Buildsum 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Josif Something like this www.bunnings.com.au/selleys-320g-space-invader-water-based-filler-expanding-foam_p1210253 The whole idea is to support the base of the bath so when you step in it doesn't flex. The foam will also help to insulate the bath and the water will stay hot longer. As I say in the video just make sure that you weigh the bath down by filling with some water so that the foam won't lift the bath out of position while it sets

Any tips on how to NOT puncture plumbing pipes while doing a frame for the bathtub ;-). or any screwing or nailing to the walls after the wall sheeting are already up

@Buildsum 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Josif No, not really, you can get service detectors, however, I have never used them. You really just have to mark where the pipes are as soon as you put the sheets up so you can keep track of them

@marcfavell Жыл бұрын

you can use plates over the studs I like to take the router and knocks it out about an eighth I make my own out of steel sometimes I'll even go across the studs so no one in future can easily drill through the pipes they sell pieces of metal for this but I find it's just easier to make as I need them no issues yet

@marcfavell Жыл бұрын

but also its really good to have a bunch of pictures as well as measurements of where the pipes are from walls

I'm not sure we can still use flooring or ply anymore...?

Hi, I haven't seen anything that would suggest that you can't. This is only as blocking behind the Cement sheet so not sure why there would be an issue. Please let me know if you find out anything more.
