How to install a sterile machine in a small bath above the toilet

The idea of ​​saving space in a small bathroom, came to the idea of ​​installing a washing machine over the toilet. Yes, the store has ready-made ideas for washing facilities, but they are very small downloads and for seven it is not enough. After much thought and searching for interesting ideas, I myself had to solve this problem myself. Realizing that the heavy machine itself weighs 50 kg plus vibration, has thoroughly approached this task. Here's how you can install a washing machine over the toilet and at the same time free up more space in the small bathroom.

Choosing the right toilet

Calculating the height, realizing that the machine should for convenience use is as low as possible reasoned. The standard height of an ordinary toilet bowl is 80 cm. And plus you need a place to press the button, I realized that it is not very convenient and aesthetically possible. The answer was found in the application of insolation of the suspended toilet bowl, but here there is its standard, this is usually 120-130 cm. This is a bit high.

In fact, very little information about the types and sizes of different manufacturers but who are looking for that will find it! He stopped on a reliable system GROHE, it is well serviced and there are spare parts. In this line there are systems from 90 cm in height, but you need to take 1 meter due to the fact that the cover can cover the button in the open state. With the system was defined now, I was confused with a hygienic shower built-in, such usually put in Turkey in every hotel. The name of the manufacturer is known Turkish Vitra, although not often, but it can be found in online stores.

• The advantages of this toilet bowl:
• Compact pot with a bibique;
• Hygienic system with built-in bibetics;
• Well-designed drain system;
• Microlift cover.

The biggest concern was whether the landing bolts fit different systems, but everything is fine.

Washing machine usual depth of 40 cm and loading 5 kg.preference was that the handle was as low as possible, for ease of loading.

Installation of the installation system

Naturally pre-made the distribution of sewerage and water supply for all consumers, taking into account the slopes and connections, this is a separate topic. Carried out a separate outlet through the automatic device for protection against current. Beforehand I calculated the size of the shelf above the washing machine, proceeded to install the legs of the installation system on the anchors. As I have one wall already fenced with a niche of plywood for a refrigerator that already stands in the bathroom to save space in a small kitchen. In addition, he laid a number of bricks to get the whole load on him.

Formwork for concreting the shelf for the washing machine

First you need to determine exactly the height of the toilet installation, taking into account the height of the screed and the tiles. I fixed the corners on the level on the anchors for the future formwork. After cutting a piece of waterproof plywood in size. The perforator drilled 14 mm holes. On the perimeter in the wall for the armature, it was knitted. Raised the board for pouring on 15 cm and concreted the podium for a sterile machine.

Tile conditioning

When the concrete is frozen I finally started to connect the system to the water supply and sewerage. Checking the system for leaks, making sure that everything works and is suitable for building a frame for gypsum board. Then, cutting out the holes for the pipes, screwed the sheet. All other processes are standard, priming and tiling. As a result, we got a pedestal above the washing machine.

Installation of the machine above the toilet

After the completion of the work, it's time to connect and lift the machine up.

The important thing is to secure the machine to the wall, because at high load it can jump.

Ideally, you need to make a vibration plate for a washing machine. To do this, we take out a sheet size of 60 * 45 cm from plywood, plexiglas, plastic. In it a cutter of 45 mm we make grooves under the legs. Drill holes in the sheet under the anchor for fastening. When installing the plate, we make a soft rubber or foam foam under it. It turns out a reliable vibrating plate, which will not allow the machine to skip. I can say that the machine installed in this way less vibrates and makes noise. I hope my advice on installing a washing machine over the toilet helped you solve the problem where it can be installed.
