Starting a bathroom renovation, it’s crucial to respect the distance between the sanitary fixtures. Building a bathroom according the rules is not only functional but, above all, convenient to use. Let’s see what may be some of the possible combinations of sanitary fixtures to follow in order to have an elegant and functional bathroom.
Front space
The first crucial aspect in the design of the bathroom is the free space necessary for a comfortable use of the toilet. A well-designed bathroom, in fact, must keep a space of at least 60-75 cm of the front edge of all the services (ie the bathroom fixtures, the shower, the sink, the tub and the door) from appliances, walls , mobile, or any other type of obstacles.
Minimum distance between sanitary ware and sink
Regarding the distance between toilet and sink, the rules provide that there are at least 10-20 cm of distance to ensure a good room for maneuver. As for the sink, also take into account a minimum front edge distance from the wall or the nearest obstacle of at least 60 cm, which is essential for comfortable use.
The minimum distance
In the classic arrangement found in most Italian homes – where the toilet is mounted next to the bidet – it is necessary to leave a minimum distance of at least 20 centimeters between toilet and bidet.
The distance of sanitary fixtures facing each other
On the other hand, if we find ourselves furnishing a small room and arranging the bathroom fixtures placed one in front of the other, then the minimum distance to be observed between the edge of the vase and bidet is about 60 cm.
Sanitary-shower distance
If the shower or the wall is positioned sideways to the sanitary ware, then the minimum space to leave between one space and the other is 40 centimeters.
These indications are only generic, but thanks to the wide range of products made by Ceramica Flaminia it is possible to furnish with style and comfort even the smallest environments with the space saving solutions of the suspended sanitary ware or the lines of small-sized sanitary fixtures such as Mini Link and Mini App.
