Unpopular Aspects of Bathroom Remodeling

When you think of remodeling your bathroom, you may be in a hurry to get your new fixtures and materials installed so you can begin enjoying your new bath. But wait... It's good to have your goal in mind so you know where you want to go, but you want to get there with the fewest complications and get there safely.

Wiring Considerations

Plumbing

Let's think about wiring. If your home is reasonably new or was remodeled in modern years, this may not be a problem. But, if however, yours is an older home that hasn't seen much done to it in modern years, you may want to reconsider the wiring in your bathroom before you proceed. Is the wiring adequate? How is the lighting now? Do you have adequate outlets?

Many bathrooms, when they were built, were only adequate with canned spotlights. In a amount of situations, there were no provisions made for vanity lighting. Lighting on both sides above the vanity is principal for grooming needs, especially if there are women in the household. Spots do not adequately light a bathroom for applying cosmetics, because they create shadowing.

If you are putting in a soaking tub or a bathtub with a whirlpool, you may want subdued lighting in the tub area so you can relax and bathe in an climate of peace and serenity after a hard day at the job.

You also want to be sure there are plentifulness of outlets, and that they are placed favorably depending on their use.

Don't forget to allow for bathroom ventilation. You will need to hook in somewhere so that you have permissible ventilation. permissible ventilation is even more important in today's bathrooms with shower heads that contribute immense volumes of hot water, steam showers and many of the new fixtures available.

Protecting your home against the damage from steam will save your walls and floors, and also prevent against mold, some of which is not only annoying but a health hazard.

Plumbing and Hot Water Supply

Then there are plumbing considerations. Hopefully your plumbing is basically good. But even if this is true, you may need to make some changes depending on what you consist of in your bathroom remodeling project. This is a good time to rate the health and capacity of your plumbing.

Some of the newer shower heads will want piping of a sure size. Be sure when you are making selections that you are aware of any plumbing modifications that need to be made so you don't run into any snags.

Your water heater is something else to think about, depending on what you add to your bathroom, in the way of amenities. If you are installing a deep soaking tub, a whirlpool, or some of the high volume shower heads, you want to be sure your hot water contribute will be adequate so you can enjoy the use of these extra amenities. Check your hot water tank capacity and assess it to the needs of these new fixtures before you proceed.

As I said, wiring and plumbing are unpopular aspects to a bathroom remodeling project, but addressing them when you remodel may save you a lot of grief later on.
