Bathroom Renovation in Laholm
Laholm • Complete bathroom reconstruction according to BKR standards
This case study details the full renovation of an 8 sq.m. bathroom in a house in Laholm. The old bathroom was outdated and had waterproofing issues. We carried out a complete redesign with hidden pipe routing, a walk-in shower area, and large-format porcelain tiling.
Wet Room Regulations (Våtrumsregler)
Bathroom remodeling in Sweden is strictly regulated by Byggkeramikrådet (BKR). Our top priority was to install a certified waterproofing system (tätskikt), construct a correct floor slope towards the drain, and hand over the official certificate (våtrumsintyg) to the client.
Solutions & Steps
Our certified tilers completed the full work scope:
- Demolition of old tiles, plumbing fixtures, and pipes.
- Installing new hidden conduit pipe-in-pipe water supply lines.
- Installing waterproof wall boards and pouring floor leveling screed to build slopes.
- Applying a certified liquid-membrane waterproofing system with corner tape.
- Tiling with large-format limestone-effect porcelain tile with epoxy grout.
- Installing a floating oak vanity, black sinks, built-in mixers, and a glass partition.
- Installing underfloor heating and recessed LED lights.
Project Results
The bathroom was handed over in pristine condition:
- Certified quality: Official våtrumsintyg certificate delivered, confirming BKR compliance.
- Design: Modern organic feel with natural wood, stone tiles, and matte black fixtures.
- Comfort: A cozy walk-in shower and warm underfloor heating.
- Water security: Conduit plumbing and certified membranes guarantee leak protection.
FAQ about Bathroom Renovation in Laholm
What is a våtrumsintyg and why is it important?
It is an official certificate proving that work complies with BKR wet room standards. It is required by insurers and increases property resale value.
Can large tiles be used in a shower area?
Yes, but to ensure a proper slope, the tiles in the shower area must be envelope-cut, or a linear drain against the wall must be used.
How long does a complete bathroom renovation take?
A full bathroom renovation typically takes 2 to 3 weeks to account for screed and membrane drying times.
