Refurbishment of New Town Flat Edinburgh




It’s not easy forming a wet room in an existing property, especially where adjoining properties sit directly underneath it.This spacious Georgian flat in Howe Street in Edinburgh’s New Town illustrates what can be done. Here I use an Italian tile, 300 x 600mm, a slate platt for the basin to sit on sourced from a Scottish Quarry, and a sheet toughened glass as the shower screen. This is set within a steel channel rebated within the tiles for a seamless finish.All the water pipes are set within the partitions, and heating is provided by a towel rail and underfloor heating. The tiles fall toward the gully within the corner.
