Bathroom Framing New Jersey

What's your idea of the perfect bathroom? If you have ever considered remodeling your bathroom, you should know that bathroom framing is the basic building block of a successful remodel. Bathroom framing simply refers to the construction of the "skeletons" for the features you want to install, such as partition walls, shower stalls, closets, and window openings. There are many different fixtures in a typical bathroom, and most of them can be installed with a good working knowledge of bathroom framing. Once you know the basics of bathroom framing, you can transform your bathroom into an attractive, convenient, and comfortable space for the whole family.

2. The Grand Design

As with any home improvement project, planning is the most important phase for your bathroom framing. Proper planning can mean the difference between a functional, well-constructed bathroom and a bathroom that requires frequent repair and maintenance. As long as you take the time to do it right the first time, you should not have to worry about constantly making minor adjustments or temporary fixes to small problems, or worse, having to tear the whole thing down and start over again. Don't rush the planning of your bathroom framing project. Of course, you will want to have your new bathroom ready as soon as possible, but remember that if you rush through the job, you will not have much time to enjoy your new bathroom between all the problems you'll have.

First, you will want to have a firm idea of what your bathroom should look like when you are finished, which will help you envision where to install the bathroom framing. You may be able to do this in your head, but it is a better idea to use pictures to help you visualize your new bathroom. Look through home and building magazines, do some research online, and check your local newspaper to see if they have a home improvement section. You might also be able to find home improvement television shows that demonstrate bathroom framing and bathroom remodeling, which will help you see where your project should be headed.

Once you have decided on a vision for your bathroom, it is a good idea to make some sketches for your own use. You do not have to be an artist or an architect, because your drawings do not have to be perfect. However, you can mark out on paper where you are going to need your bathroom framing, and be sure to leave plenty of room to write down the measurements you will have to take to ensure a successful bathroom remodel. Plan out where you will put the shower stall, any partition walls, and even window openings. Measure the actual space in your bathroom, or the location you want to install a new bathroom, and write everything down carefully.

3. Planning Around Obstacles

If you are planning to remodel an existing bathroom, the simplest way to approach your bathroom framing project is to work around the fixtures that are already in place. This includes your toilet, sink, and shower stall, and may even include a washing machine, if you have one in your bathroom that is connected directly to a plumbing line (rather than the models that run using hoses that connect to your sink). Any basic plan for a bathroom remodel should start with the major plumbing fixtures in their current places.

The good news is, you do not have to be a plumber to remove old sinks or shower stalls and replace them with new ones. It is not as difficult as it might seem to connect plumbing pipes, install new washers, or even put in new faucets. The most important thing to remember is to turn off your water supply before you begin working with pipes in your bathroom - especially if you have not installed your new waterproof bathroom framing yet. Be sure to get specific instructions on replacing bathroom sink or shower pipes before you begin. You can find more detailed directions either in the manufacturer's installation instructions, in home improvement books or magazines, or through reputable online resources.

With a little creativity, it is possible to plan your dream bathroom around your existing fixtures. However, if you would rather completely renovate your bathroom and move some of your fixtures, one option is to hire a professional to install new pipe fixtures for you, and then go ahead with the bathroom framing and the rest of the remodel yourself. This can save you quite a bit of money.

4. Framing Basics

It is important to remember that bathroom framing requires a few different processes from framing walls in the rest of the house. This is because bathrooms have high moisture content - after all, the shower, toilet, and sink in your bathroom all use water. When you are constructing your bathroom framing, you will need to keep in mind that your bathroom should be as waterproof and moisture resistant as possible. This will not only prevent your walls and floors from sustaining water damage, but it will also prevent harmful mold and bacteria from forming in your bathroom. Any partition walls you plan to build should be constructed with water-resistant drywall. Also, keep in mind that if you are doing any work on exterior walls, such as window openings, you will need to include moisture barriers.

You will have to ensure that your bathroom floor is level and unfinished before you install bathroom framing. This is usually accomplished using plywood sheets nailed to a framework of 1x6 boards. A moisture barrier should be used beneath the boards to protect the bathroom from dampness from the basement or crawl space. There are specialty moisture barriers available, but an easier and less expensive solution is to use a layer of common roofing paper. The final step in rough flooring is cement backer-board, which should be installed with the rough side facing up to allow for better tile or linoleum adhesion.

There are different bathroom framing steps for different parts of the bathroom, such as window openings, partition walls, and shower stalls. In general, you will use 2x4 lumber, #16 nails, and water-resistant drywall. In the way of tools, you will need a hammer, a circular saw for cutting lumber, a spreader for drywall cement, and any associated tools required for hanging and waterproofing plastic or tile, such as waterproof caulk. Remember, with any remodeling project, it is important to get a lot of detailed installation information from many sources, so make sure to do your homework first.
