The Ecohome : First floor bathrooms
Here you can see one of the two first floor bathrooms.
In both bathrooms pipework for the shower was installed then concealed with studwork and Claytec board. The low flush WC was plumbed in using Geberit PVC free pipework for the waste pipes and copper for the supply.

The ceilings were dropped to form a sub-structure for the loose-fill cellulose insulation by Warmcell. See later boards for more details. The new partition and ceiling were clad in Claytec boards, while the external wall was patched with Clayec Undercoat.

One of the bathrooms has a space-saving bath. It's only 1200mm long and provides a water-saving alternative to a standard bath. The thermostatic shower system allows very accurate and consistent control of the water temperature. It has water-saving 'eco' settings and because it has separate flow and temperature controls it is possible to switch off the supply during shampooing without the need to readjust. It also has child-proof manually overridable anti-scolding safety feature which limits the water temperature to 38ΒΊC.
