Adding Pocket Door to water closet
Comments (8)Johnson hardware for the tracks and hangers. A door at least slightly wider tan the opening is needed if there is any trim pattern to the door (like panels). You need to trim off some of the 'show' edge to center the decoration while leaving some of the pocket edge in the pocket when the door is closed. Stop molding may also be needed on the jamb opposite the pocket to provide privacy. I do not use the typical plastic guides to prevent door sway (they will scratch the face of the door eventually). Mount a short section of aluminum angle on the floor of the pocket and cut a mating groove in the bottom of the door to prevent sway....See MoreAdding wall partition w/ bi-fold doors for laundry
Comments (2)Is the laundry room going to be the full size of the current raised tub area or smaller? If it's going to take up the whole space, then why not put the wall just to this side of the current wall tile, thus avoiding walling in the tile?? If that's too big, then I'd just take down the wall tile and put new drywall in. It's a pretty simple job. And it'll look better, since the tile doesn't go all the way around the space....See MoreExpanding master bath, adding laundry room?
Comments (9)I think your plan has potential, depending on your priorities and the conventions in your neighbourhood (how quickly is resale an issue, what are the local expectations of a MBr, closet, MBa, etc). It looks like it's time to do a little research/thinking. Your current 5th bedroom looks like it's 10 ft deep? Do you want a 10ft deep full laundry ROOM? Or would a closet with a stacking unit be enough? Do you need a walk-in closet? If so, what kind of dimensions are you imagining? In our current reno, we've decided to forgo a walk-in for a wall of deeper-than-standard closets. If you did a run of closets 3' deep by 14' along your back wall, you would still have a 14x20 bedroom, plus what would be more than enough closet space for us. Alternatively, how big is your current bathroom, and how much bigger do you need it to be? If you're only trying to make space for a separate shower, taking over the closets that surround the back of your current bathroom might make enough room. You could then put the laundry in the 5th bedroom at the other end, backing onto the hall bathroom, and this might leave you enough room in the bedroom for your office, and let you keep the closets you have. Even a 9x10 room is likely big enough for your small office, leaving you 5 x10 for your laundry... (unless the closets are part of your 10x14 dimension?)...See MoreAdding a supply vent to laundry room
Comments (2)I have a similar sized laundry room. The supply vent is in the floor approximately 2-3 feet from either wall. The problem it is constantly being stepped on and collects debris. Other than that is vent works fine. I suggest installing it away from the traffic flow as much as possible....See MoreHALLETT & Co.
