width

Length is a measure of distance. In the International System of Quantities, length is a quantity with dimension distance. In most systems of measurement a base unit for length is chosen, from which all other units are derived. In the International System of Units (SI) system the base unit for length is the metre.
Length is commonly understood to mean the most extended dimension of a fixed object. However, this is not always the case and may depend on the position the object is in.
Various terms for the length of a fixed object are used, and these include height, which is vertical length or vertical extent, and width, breadth or depth. Height is used when there is a base from which vertical measurements can be taken. Width or breadth usually refer to a shorter dimension when length is the longest one. Depth is used for the third dimension of a three dimensional object.Length is the measure of one spatial dimension, whereas area is a measure of two dimensions (length squared) and volume is a measure of three dimensions (length cubed).

    Whats the minimum width for a walk in shower entrance

    I've had a 1400x900 shower tray fitted at the end of a 1400 wide bathroom so essentially in an alcove. I wanted to get a glass panel of just under 1000mm and not bother with a door, that would leave a space of just over 400mm to walk in and out. Do you think that would be ok. No fatties in the...

Finding an exact match for the pipe spacing is proving a challenge, but I've come across a few which can be...

    I'm replacing my towel radiator in my bathroom. The new one I bought, while it has the same overall dimensions, is slightly narrower than the old one where it is connected to the flow and return pipes. What are my options here? Is there some sort of adjustable value I can use to sort this or...

    Hi, I'm installing a new bathroom upstairs, the waste pipe of which will connect to the existing soil stack. Is a 110mm pipe the minimum for a branch pipe to remove bathroom waste, or could a smaller pipe be used? I've been working off the assumption that it is, however a couple of people...

    Any tips for measuring off-set needed in awkward bath tap changes?

    When re-piping (perhaps to replace contorted fleximagigs) I find you can never view your measuring from an angle that gives you any accuracy. Perhaps some system involving pipe cleaners and bits of string. Thank you brothers, sisters, comrades and boyfriends.

    Fitting shower alongside basin - width question

    Hi - My bathroom, plaster to plaster is 143cm. I would like to install a 900x900 shower and 500mm washbasin, leaving only 3cm!
