Bathroom suites and fixtures

Pan projection, basin width and bath clearance

Wall-hung WCs reduce visible pipework but need sturdy frames and access panels. Close-coupled pans suit like-for-like replacements with a defined projection from the wall. Basins from 500 mm to 1200 mm wide change the storage available beneath. Bath lengths from 1500 mm to 1800 mm need end clearance and space for a shower screen to swing.

• Rimless WC pans simplify cleaning lines
• Semi-recessed basins maximise small vanity tops
• Shower-over-bath layouts need screen width and tap reach checks
• Freestanding baths need floor loading and filler position planning
