Cloakroom Suites

As you’ll be well aware, the suite is one of the most essential aspects of any bathroom. However, it can be tough to choose just the right one to suit your needs. Do you go for something sleek and modern or elegant and classic? Then you have to take into consideration how much space you have to play with. If there isn't much room then it’s time to consider fitting a cloakroom suite. The following guide will detail all the things you need to be aware of before making your decision.

 

What is a cloakroom toilet?

A cloakroom is a small bathroom often consisting of just a short projection toilet and cloakroom basin. Typically, this style of bathroom is found on the ground floor of a home which is why they’re also known as downstairs toilets. 

The thing that separates cloakroom suites from other examples is their compact size. They look similar in style to their larger counterparts but they are often narrower or don't project away from the wall as much. This makes them absolutely ideal for en-suites and guest bathrooms as these are often much smaller than regular family settings. They are also a good choice if your bathroom happens to be an unusual or awkward shape as they can fit into tighter areas than other designs.

 

How wide does a cloakroom need to be?

In order for a cloakroom to remain functional while still having room for a toilet and basin, you wouldn’t want it any smaller than around 70cm wide and 130cm long. However, there is no limit to how large a cloakroom can be.

 

What’s included in a cloakroom suite?

Traditional cloakroom suites consist of just a toilet and basin. However, this can come in a multitude of formats, styles and some may even come with additional accessories.
