If you’re planning bathroom remodeling in Stuart, it’s essential to think ahead and consider your future. Consider this list of six tips to give you peace of mind and ensure your bathroom is functional and fabulous.
- Choosing a Safer Shower
To ensure the safety of our clients who want to enjoy their homes for as long as possible, we highly recommend replacing your tub/shower duo with either a low-threshold shower or a curbless/roll-in shower.
- Build in a Shower Bench
A built-in seat in the shower is an excellent and reliable option that guarantees ease of use and safety, particularly for people who use a wheelchair. If you have limited space in your shower, a free-standing bench seat is an excellent alternative.
- Handheld Shower Fixtures
Handheld shower heads are a must-have addition to your bathroom. With their easily adjustable height and placement next to your shower bench, you can wash up while seated, making your life easier in all stages.
- Adding Attractive Grab Bars
With our tasteful grab bars that seamlessly complement your home’s style, you no longer have to sacrifice looks for functionality. Our expert team recommends installing grab bars in the shower and toilet area to ensure a safe and secure bathroom experience.
- Taking a Toilet to New Heights
Regular toilets are often too low, but comfort-height toilets, 17 to 19 inches high, can significantly reduce the strain on your back and knees. Opting for a taller toilet can help you sit and stand more comfortably, making your bathroom experience much more enjoyable.
- Improve Lighting
It is crucial to have good lighting in your bathroom. Recessed, vanity, lamps, and natural light are all viable options. Proper lighting can reduce the strain on your eyes and help you identify potential safety hazards like wet surfaces or tripping hazards.When you are ready to employ some of these options in your attractive and functional forever bathroom, you can look to Santangelo Construction to help. We are comprehensive contractors, supporting you from the design phase to the final paint brush stroke on your new room. Call us today for the help you need at (561) 301-3954.
