As a primary need, bathing is so closely related to the daily life of today's society. Therefore, when building a house, the toilet will definitely be listed in the list of builders who should not be left behind. However, sanitary lovers seem to need to know about the 'class' of the bathroom. Yes, like schools, there are levels that distinguish one grade from another.
In this article, Brilli will share information about the 'class'. First, the bathroom is very simple. Generally, this toilet adapts to housing that is categorized as a very simple house (RSSS). The bathroom for this residence is usually not too wide, about 1.5x1.5 meters. There is only one squat toilet and one faucet. To collect water from the faucet, generally homeowners use a bucket.
In the market, the price of squat toilets is very affordable, ranging from Rp. 200 thousand to Rp. 500 thousand. Depends on brand and material. Then the tap water is Rp. 20 thousand which is the cheapest, and Rp. 500 thousand is the most expensive. The price difference depends on the material and brand. If it is made of brass and well-known brand products, the price is certainly more expensive than a faucet made of plastic.
As for the floor, the RSSS bathroom at best uses ceramics with a size of 25x25 cm. So are the walls. However, ceramic-coated walls are usually no more than two meters high. At a building material store, the average price for this size of ceramic is Rp. 50 thousand per meter. So, to cover the need for a 1.5x1.5 meter bathroom, it costs Rp 500 thousand.
Then there's another shopping item that you shouldn't miss. Namely the bathroom door. In the market, the price of a door made of PVC plastic is priced between Rp. 300 thousand to millions. So, in total, the RSSS bathroom requires a relatively affordable cost, which is between Rp. 2 million to Rp. 3 million. That does not include the need for shopping for cement and bricks.
After the RSSS class, now move on to a simpler toilet with a wider size. The bathrooms of this class generally already use a toilet seat. In the market, the cheapest price ranges from Rp. 750 thousand to Rp. 1.5 million. Toilets of this category also usually use branch taps for showers and ablution with a price of no more than IDR 500 thousand. Then the floor drain which costs less than Rp. 100 thousand.
For the floor, it is best to use granite tile with a size of 60x60 cm. Where the price per meter is around Rp. 90 thousand. When multiplied by the size of the bathroom, the need for granite requires a budget of around Rp. 1.8 million. The budget does not include cement adhesive, which costs around Rp. 200 thousand per bag. So in total, the budget for a simple toilet is Rp. 6 million. That includes PVC door and hand shower.
When compared to a luxury toilet, a simple bathroom budget does tend to be more economical. As discussed in the previous article, luxury toilets need a budget of between Rp. 65 million to hundreds of millions. This is for a bathroom with a minimum length/width of 3x5 meters and a height of 3 meters. Most of the budget is sucked up to spend on ceramic/granite or marble. In the market, the price ranges from Rp. 1.5 million per meter for quality A.
Then for sanitary equipment, such as a quality A bathtub measuring 2x1 meters, for example, the average price is Rp. 10 million. Then the electric smart closet in the range of Rp. 16 million. Then a cabinet sink equipped with a large mirror for Rp. 6 million. While the price of the latest and most recent floor drain is in the range of Rp. 1 million. Next is a shower set, the average price is below IDR 5 million.
In total, the budget for a luxury bathroom costs around Rp. 100 million. The budget does not include the cost of craftsmen and the expenditure of small prints, such as ceramic/granite adhesives and other accessories.
Those are toilet classes that are commonly found in today's society. Which bathroom class is in your house?
