Walkthrough checklist
- Identify tight gaps around the WC, vanity and shower screen.
- Choose fittings and ledges that do not create unnecessary dirt traps.
- Keep access panels and service points reachable after joinery is installed.
Worked example
A wall-hung vanity leaves a tight gap beside the toilet that a mop cannot reach.
Check cleaning tool access at the planned fixture spacing and simplify concealed corners or provide a removable access detail.
How to test it
Walk through a normal clean and confirm tools can reach each junction.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Keep the shower at the far end, with vanity and towel access outside the wet zone.
- Detail
- Use a recessed shelf and slip-conscious floor finish; provide bright mirror lighting.
- Trade-off
- A fixed glass screen controls splash but may complicate cleaning access.
- Check floor fall and drain position
- Test door clearance and towel reach
