Bathrooms

Bathrooms will normally have windows set up at a height of 2.5 meters, like shown here. (28-Mar-04)dozer

To allow extra light into the bathroom I like the idea of supplementing with glass blocks. They are inexpensive and when finished look really nice. (09-Apr-04)dozer

A septic here is nothing but a hole in the ground with some cement rings inserted. The normal number of rings is 4, I would recommend using at least 5. The cement rings come in 1, 1.2 and 1.5 meter diameters, the one show here are the 1.2 meter size. (08-Apr-04)dozer

This shot shows the correct way of laying down a foundation base for bathroom, in that the floor of the bathroom typically is 10 centimeters lower than the rest of the house. Notice how the foundation base in this shot is lower for the bathroom than the main house. (12-May-04)dozer

The frame for a PVC bathroom doors are themselves made of PVC, and as such they need a support housing when they are being set-up, otherwise the weight of cement above the door will cause the frame to bend. (15-May-04)dozer

This shows the simplicity of the plumbing. Each bathroom is serviced by two septics, one for solid waste and one for water runoff. Normally there will be three runoff pipe per bathroom as follows; shower, sink and a runoff for the floor drain. The pipes are run into the septic and then cemented in place. (01-Jun-04)dozer

For hot water plumbing this is the recommended way of doing it: copper pipe shielded with PVC tubing. It isn't that easy to find copper pipe or copper workman here. (02-Jun-04)dozer

Sink plumbing. This sink is fed by 1/2 inch hot and cold pipes coming in and there is a drainage exhaust going out. The pvc pipes will later be cemented into the wall. dozer

This shows hot and cold PVC pipes which are to be poured in cement on the back of the house. (07-Jun-04)dozer

This shot shows a cement pour in progress which will encase the hot and cold water plumbing in cement. Also, the septics will be covered in concrete with a 4" PVC pipe for venting.dozer

The plumber is here making a base for the shower enclosures. You can also buy a acrylic base but it isn't necessary. A cement tiled base like this works great. (19-Jun-04)dozer

This is an example of a 75 liter wall mount water heater. There are many different sizes and brands of central water heaters, one like this costs about 10,000 Baht. However these haven't really caught on yet (the normal type used is the individual shower water heater) so you will need to hunt to find someone to install it and do the hot water plumbing correctly. Also, using a central hot water heater like this raises costs more than you would think, from copper pipe to hot/cold faucets, the cost really isn't in the unit itself but all of the associated plumbing. This is a good decision to make before you start building the house, ie. central hot water or individual hot water heaters? (21-Jun-04)dozer
