Hi
I'm currently planning to modify my existing bathroom to include a tiled in bath. This will mean taking down a few internal walls and using some space from the spare bedroom.
I'm trying to eat into the spare room as little as possible while still keeping all the work to a reasonable standard. (I'm new to all this so that standard is likely to be lower than many professional peoples on here.)
I've included a scale diagram showing my current planned 10mm partition. I was looking for advice on the Red Circled areas, as this is where I believe I can possibly pull back a few cms, and stop the new wall getting to near to the window in the bedroom. The plasterboard in the bathroom will be Aquapanel (12.5mm) and fully tiled.
Would you use metal stud on the longer wall to save 2.5cm?
If so is metal stud just as good as wood stud OR do you lose out on something.
The smaller red area I was thinking of maybe doing back to back plasterboard hence making it 2.5cm. This wall would be in the hallway and could use Knauf Soundproof board on the hall facing side. Would this be seen as a Bad Idea? Is it something that professionals do OR is it big No No.
At the end of the day my home is obviously more important than a bit of extra space but would like to save some space if possible. I've had some very valuable advice on here in the past so appreciate any responses.
cheers
Andy
