Not sure if I placed the thread correctly, or if it should have been under laundry room or bathroom...
While renovating the bathroom on the ground floor, we're running new pipes in the laundry room ceiling. This has resulted in some plaster and paint chipping off where we've drilled, so we're thinking of sprucing up the laundry room. No renovation, just new paint on the walls, new countertop, and cabinet doors. New counter and sink above the washing machine and dryer.
And we're going to put in a bathtub! However, it's not very relaxing to lie in a bath and look at the pile of laundry that usually sits in front of the washing machine, so we'd like to have some sort of partition.
There are two floor drains and there is a slope to both, but there is no straight boundary on the floor where the slopes separate. So, I was thinking the wall would end a bit above the floor so that any water could flow freely, and it would also end a bit below the ceiling for ventilation. Of course, it should be supported in the floor and ceiling somehow.
It also shouldn't be too thick. Ideally, it should only be anchored to the wall and ceiling. If it doesn't work out, I want to be able to remove it again without having ruined the floor
So, I'm looking for tips on how one might build such a wall that also looks nice! Tips on materials I can use? The bathtub will be used one day a week, and the room's ventilation is good. But I suspect that wooden studs might not be ideal?
I thought a bit about having a framework welded with a door, where I then glue frosted glass, kind of like an industrial wall. However, I suspect it might get expensive. Maybe the framework could be made of wood?
Another suggestion I've received is to hang some linen fabric as a curtain, but I have a hard time picturing it as a neat solution.
Attached is a photo of how it looks today, as well as two images of how the layout will be. The dimensions are approximately 3.3x3.1m.
I’d love a corner bathtub or something else larger if something second-hand comes up at a bargain, otherwise, we'll use a standard one that we already have lying around.
We have glass blocks that are built directly on the floor. They are on the floor and perhaps not what you requested? At the very bottom, towards the floor, a half block was used to make a hole for pipes.
We have glass blocks that are laid directly on the floor. They stand on the floor and maybe that's not what you were asking for? At the bottom, a half block was used to make holes for pipes.
How have you attached the blocks to the wall and floor? Just glue joint? Do you have any reinforcement between the blocks?
When we connected the pipes going up to the bathroom, we took the opportunity to run pipes to where the bathtub is going to stand, and then we thought about it a bit more.
So it will be a standard bathtub behind the green palm according to the picture below.
But I would have liked some form of partition where the palm is, and then it wouldn't have been too bad with glass blocks.
There it also doesn't matter if the wall stands flush on the floor.
There was a craftsman who made the glass block wall and it should be glued to the floor and wall. That is, he tiled first and then built the wall. Unfortunately, I don't know if there is any reinforcement.
