We are looking at a house where on the upper floor there is a wet room with a bathroom and sauna, see floor plan. Our hope (a family with children in urgent need of space) is to be able to remove the sauna and put up some type of wall outside the bathroom – and then make a hallway/workspace where the sauna was. How do you handle moisture barriers etc.? Is this a massive project or can it be solved relatively smoothly?
The bidding is underway and for us this is a crucial question, so quick responses are greatly appreciated.
It might be difficult to install the moisture barrier if you want to cut straight across the tiled floor and put up a wall. As long as the slope is correct and the floor drain doesn't clog, it should work temporarily. To get an "approved" wet room, I would think you need to redo everything.
Can't you divide bedroom 3 into its own room (upper part of the floor plan, including 1 window) to create a small bedroom and use the rest above the stairs as an office?
Thank you! Yes, your suggestion is a possible solution. But much of it is about creating more space upstairs (it has slanted ceilings), hence the desire to remove the sauna. I'm starting to realize that, as you say, it can only be solved temporarily unless we redo everything...
