1. Minimize Mould and Mildew

As you all know, bathrooms are moist. It’s no secret that managing moisture should be your top concern when renovating your bathroom. When talking to your contractor about moisture management, you will have to consider the following:

• Which water-resistant material is best for your bathroom?
• How quickly and efficiently can you dry your bathroom?
• Do you need to add a fan or a vented window?
• What water proofing is needed for the shower walls and bathroom floors?

If you’re unsure as to what steps you should take to manage the moisture in your bathroom, our experts are more than happy to offer you a variety of options for you to choose from!

2. Let’s Talk Lights

Lighting in the bathroom is usually an afterthought for many homeowners as they often believe that a traditional ceiling lamp or wall sconce will get the job done. Little do they know that choosing the right lighting can heavily impact the bathroom’s overall design. A well-lit bathroom is not only essential for safety and convenience but also:

• Creates a restful and relaxed atmosphere
• Improves functionality
• Increases overall home value

Finding the right light balance can be tricky as too much light can be disruptive and jarring, while only a few lights can make navigating the space hard. Looking for some lighting ideas? Visit our gallery!

3. Fixtures and Faucets

Nowadays, water-efficient technology has made it easier for us to include low-flow plumbing fixtures in bathroom renovations to save gallons of water per day. Many family homes have started to opt for low-flow toilets, faucets and showerheads as they are looking to significantly reduce their monthly water bill without sacrificing water pressure. Ask our experts for water-efficient options for your next bathroom renovation!
