Creating a Perfect Bathroom

The bathroom is an essential part of your home. It’s a place to relax, rejuvenate and renew yourself after a hard day’s work. Especially for first-time home owners, creating that perfect bathroom can be quite a daunting task. There are so many options when it comes to purchasing bathroom equipment along with style and bathroom design, from the aesthetic features down to the practical ones.

Choosing a Bathtub:

Combining aesthetics with functionality, corner and walk in bathtubs have becoming quite popular with homeowners. Corner bathtubs offer a different style and shape than that of a “normal” bathtub and they are generally deeper as well. These are perfect for those interested in looking at large whirlpool baths.

Walk in bathtubs are gaining popularity primarily for their safety features and for their size. Walk-in bathtubs are perfect for elderly or disabled individuals who can face difficulty when trying to bathe. Two of the main safety features of walk-in tubs are rails and seating, which can be beneficial to those with limited mobility. In addition, compact walk-in tubs are smaller than conventional tubs, allowing you to have more room in your bathroom.

Choosing a Toilet:
In addition to picking a tub, picking a reliable, modern toilet can also be a concern for homeowners. Many are unaware of the benefits of pressure assist toilets as opposed to gravity toilets and are wary of the potential higher cost. As opposed to a gravity toilet, in which water goes down due to gravity, pressure assist toilets used compressed air to force the water down and out. Pressure assist toilets have both an inner and outer tank, whereas regular toilets only have an outer tank. The compressed air originates in this inner tank. Since it is completely sealed, the air inside can become compressed as water comes in from the water line. Pressure assist toilets may be a little more pricey, but it’s been proven that they are more efficient-removing more waste with less water than a gravity toilet can.

As you can see, corner tubs, walk in bathtubs and pressure assist toilets are all very beneficial features to consider installing in your bathroom. You should strive to create a bathroom that is safe, comfortable and functional, and any one of these features will lead you on a path to achieving that. Happy hunting!
