Smart – first, fancy – after

Functionality and accessibility are the first major components to consider when visualizing your future remodeled bathroom. To begin with, think about bathroom flooring – look up installation of heated flooring system to keep you warm throughout a year and some modern programmable thermostat (especially remote ones that connect to your phone) will help you save some money. Check on type of tiles to use when remodel a bath, you might prefer porcelain or glazed tile that are easy to care and use or consider some of the slip-resistant types like matte finished or sand grain style. Pay attention to durability of bathroom tile flooring and look specifically for grade 1 or 2 tiles, and save grade 3 for walls and shower. Make sure to check on absorption coefficient which will tell you exactly how much moist and excess water will go through.

Talking about absorption indicator, shower tile should show less than 3% overall.

Bathroom accessories are also another important aspect to look at from the point of convenience and compliance – so make sure that all of them are placed on the appropriate height and with good blocking. Elements like bathroom fixtures, despite being installed by licensed plumber, need to be in a top-tier of quality, so look at toilets with MaP score over 500, quality faucets that will net leak in a couple month. Last but not least – ensure that lighting used in your bathroom remodeling is long-standing and bright enough, especially if you don’t have a natural source of light available.

To wrap all this up, don’t over wait with remodeling a bathroom in your home. Timely and quality renovation means you will avoid tons of possible problems that can pop up if that old leak in drain breaks all of a sudden and leaves you with insurance bills and more remodeling coming on top of existing pending projects.
