What is the minimum size of the hatch for tiles in the bathroom

Depending on the needs, it is possible to install a revision in the bathroom the hatch is hinged or with an elevator. The swing will be more relevant, since it makes it possible to quickly get to all communications and perform repairs or maintenance. The door of such a hatch opens 180 °. Therefore, it is possible to install both plumbing pipes, counters, filters, and so on under it. Moreover, such hatches do not require additional space to open the door.

If there is still not enough space in the bathroom, then you can look at the pull-out option or hatches with removable doors. Such a hatch is less convenient to use, but it allows you to place it where there is practically no space. Interestingly, for such hatches, a minimum space of 13 cm is sufficient for hatches with a sliding door, and with a removable one — 5 cm.

In addition, if the hatch is installed on a tile, not only compactness, but also visual characteristics should be taken into account. To install the hatch with minimal tile damage and aesthetically beautiful, you should select the size of the hatch for the tile itself. For example, if your tile is 30x60, then you should multiply by 2 and this will be the size of the hatch. A paired number of tiles is always taken so that the hatch fits the design perfectly and is invisible.

If, when choosing, you notice that the hatch does not match 2-5 cm, then do not worry, even though the tile will protrude after facing, then after closing everything will be beautiful, and all seams will remain smooth and without trimming.

What are the sizes of hatchesThe optimal size of the hatch will depend on the location and layout of pipes, cranes or meters.

• Among the most popular you can find:60-60, 50-40
• Less popular: 40-40 and 40-50 and 40-60
• Small sizes: 20-30, 30-30
• Large sizes: 60-90, 60-100, 60-120 or 75-75 and 80-90 cm.

Since the most correct solution would be to install a hatch under the bath, where it will not interfere and at the same time structurally remain accessible, it is best to install 2 hatches under the bathroom at once. One can control the drain of water in the bathroom and access to the drain system itself, and the second can be used both for filters, meters and other things, and for storing plumbing tools or household chemicals.

When installing it yourself, follow the following rules:

• Install the frame for the bath taking into account the thickness of the tile.
• Apply a special tile adhesive under the comb at least 6 mm. You should also choose a high-quality adhesive that will have waterproofing properties.
• Be sure to install the hatch perpendicular to the floor plane.
• When installing the hatch, fix it firmly in the opening.
