Transforming an unloved understairs space into an
elegant cloakroom and toilet is easy with Saniflo
When you think of what your house is worth any unused space is costing you a lot
so it makes sense to utilize every square inch to best advantage. Take the
cupboard under the stairs for example.
In older houses built in a more gracious age this tended to be used as a larder
or a broom cupboard.
But times change and a house built in the 1930’s or before with three or four bedrooms would have just one toilet and one
bathroom. In a busy modern life modern homes tend to have ensuites and a
downstairs cloakroom with toilet.
So that’s where the understairs cupboard earns its keep with a Saniflo makeover. One of
the biggest problems faced by homeowners wanting to add facilities is that of
plumbing.
A one bathroom/toilet house has just one soil pipe to take the waste away and
that is usually at the back of the house.
Conventional plumbing takes the waste away from the toilet through gravity fed
100mm pipework to the soil pipe. 100mm is large, obtrusive and you don
’t want it running through your bedroom!
This is where Saniflo with its macerating and pumping action comes into its own.
With Saniflo, waste and water is processed and pumped away from the toilet
through small bore 22 or 32mm pipework to the soil stack. Because Saniflo can
pump upwards and then along, the pipework can be unobtrusive and run under
floorboards or through loft space.
So, having cleared the understairs cupboard, Saniflo has a range of products
that can allow you add the exact facilities you want. In our picture the
product is a Sanicompact, a compact toilet with inbuilt macerator and no
cistern. Its small size and push button flush instead of a cistern makes it
ideal for understairs use.
Saniflo products are easy to install. Your plumber will know about Saniflo and
be able to advise you
on siting pipework. Of course Saniflo is not just a product for understairs
cloakrooms. Wherever you need an extra toilet in your property Saniflo has a
product precisely designed to fill that need.
Whether it’s a basement installation, a loft extension or an ensuite shower or bathroom,
Saniflo offers the opportunity to add facilities in an economic way that are quickly installed.
Because Saniflo have been supplying small bore macerating systems for more than
30 years they have vast experience of the problems to be solved where plumbing
runs are difficult or impossible.
