Homeowners remodeling their bathrooms should consider more than the color tile or which granite counter they want. Bathroom remodels are about comfort plus function. It’s the function you’ll discuss with your residential contractor in Saint Augustine, FL.
Windows
Mold and mildew feed on wallpaper glue, paint, wood, cloth, and many other things. They cause allergic reactions and asthma attacks. Preventing mold and mildew by cutting new windows in the bathroom does more than only using vents.
Fresh air circulates in bathrooms to dispel the mist that causes mold and mildew. If the room can bear it, we suggest a small window in the shower and one above the tub.
Storage
Storage is as important in a bathroom as in any room. Talk to your residential contractor in Saint Augustine, FL, about built-ins, farm shelving beneath the vanity, and built-ins in the tub and shower.
Tub/Shower Accommodations
Homeowners intending to age in place should consider walk in showers and tubs. The shower will have no lip and will slant toward a drain. The walk in tub will be easier to enter and exit as well. Both will require a plumber and the tub will need an electrician to set up.
Throne Room
Trending now is separation of throne and bathroom. A half-wall or a separate room are being constructed so one person can use the toilet while the other gets a shower. This falls into the comfort category.
