Tips for bathroom remodeling

Benefits of bathroom remodeling:choosing the right toilet can make a big difference to a Bathroom remodeling, not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of comfort. A wall- hung toilet looks more spacious , because it remains clear of the floor and thus takes up visibly less volume.

However, the installation costs of a wall-hung toilet are slightly higher than those of a standing toilet. This is because a front wall must be installed to conceal the cistern. This is not possible everywhere with a renovation. Ask your plumber for advice in advance.

A single or a double washbasin?

The answer depends on the size of your bathroom. After all, you must have sufficient walking and elbow room. In order to get in and out easily and to dry off, there must be at least 60 cm free space in front of the shower and next to the bath .

For a toilet (or a bidet), a minimum of 20 cm must be provided on both sides and another 30 to 40 cm in front . In front of the sink is at least 60 cm necessary so that someone can still run along behind you. On either side of it, at elbow height, you should have at least 20 cm of room to move.

Tidy is neat

Whether you have a large or small Bathroom remodeling, go for furniture with maximum storage capacity. So-called 'modular' bathroom furniture can take on all possible shapes, from a movable storage box to a standing or hanging column cabinet . Its design also has few or no limits: drawers under the wash bowl are particularly useful for make-up items, you can store a laundry basket in the column cupboard, and adjustable racks are a great solution for bath towels.

In terms of operating mechanism , we distinguish four types of taps: two- handle mixers , single-lever mixers , thermostatic taps and electronic taps . Thermostatic faucets have the advantage that you do not have to mess with hot and cold water.

They immediately give you the temperature you have set. You save water and energy, and you can never burn yourself while showering or bathing. The temperature remains constant, even when a tap is turned on elsewhere in the house.

Even more user-friendly are the ' hands-free ' taps that we previously only found in restaurants and industrial buildings. They are hygienic, easy to maintain (there are never limescale deposits at the base of the tap) and they are also very economical, because they close by themselves immediately after hand washing. They use up to 70% less water than a classic mixer tap.
