Upgrades to your bathroom can turn it into an inviting oasis that adds significant resale value, but not all renovation projects are created equal; an improper DIY project may result in leaks, clogs and structural damage that leaves you paying the ultimate price for repairs.
Effective plumbing upgrades combine functionality and luxury to enhance your bathroom experience. A professional plumber can install an array of innovative fixtures that will transform it.
High-Pressure Showerheads
High-pressure shower heads can make bathing an exceptional experience, helping you flush away impurities such as dirt and minerals while leaving behind soap residue that contributes to smoother complexions and silkier locks. Furthermore, their stronger flow provides for quicker rinse times – an excellent option if your home has low water pressure.
Search for an electric razor with multiple spray options ranging from wide gentle streams for shaving legs, to concentrated massage jets with pulses. And select one with a dial or lever so you can easily switch settings.
Our top pick is an impressive handheld showerhead designed to deliver incredible pressure in an attractive body. Its contemporary finish is engineered to withstand daily wear and tear without scratches, corrosion or limescale accumulation – and its design works seamlessly with existing shower hoses. If wall-mount types are more your style (heavier than our Supreme and Moda picks above! ), Hai’s offering has the same quality and outstanding performance while being lighter and sleeker than either option; plus soft rubber nozzles make cleaning it even easier in hard water environments!
Towel Warmers
Install a towel warmer for an effortless way to quickly transform your bathroom into an inviting spa oasis. Not only is this stylish yet energy-saving device ideal, as it only requires small amounts of electricity in order to keep towels toasty warm.
Wall-mounted and freestanding electric towel warmers come in all sorts of designs, from hardwired models to plug-in units. If space is an issue, consider compact countertop models such as the Zadro Countertop Towel Warmer to safely warm one or two towels simultaneously on your countertop – perfect for keeping towels toasty warm on an everyday basis yet easily stored away when not needed! Its sturdy construction can even fit under vanity tables when not being used!
Hydronic towel warmers connect directly to your hot water plumbing, making installation slightly more complicated but making them one of the most energy-efficient choices available. They’re suitable for new homes as well as renovation projects; for a luxurious feel look for models featuring thermostat and timer controls. Freestanding units such as the Amba Solo Towel Warmer offer plenty of space for multiple towels while coming in different finishes.
Radiant Heating
Heated floors offer a luxurious experience in your bathroom and add to the warmth and comfort of your home during chilly winters, while simultaneously helping reduce energy costs by offering an efficient way of heating it – radiant heating relies less on forced air heating sources to deliver warmth throughout your home.
Radiant heating uses infrared radiation to transfer thermal energy from the floor up into a room, warming people and objects within it. It is especially suited for bathrooms, kitchens, basements and bedrooms located over an unheated space such as garage or attic in your home.
Radiant floor heating systems can be easily integrated into homes with hydronic or electric systems, making radiant floor heating an attractive alternative to forced air furnaces and baseboard heaters. Radiant heat requires lower maintenance costs than traditional furnaces and operates more cost effectively – though its warming time can take time, its cooling abilities may also be limited; nevertheless it makes an excellent long-term investment!
Designer Fixtures
Bathroom fixtures that set the perfect ambiance can help to transform your self-care retreat into an experience to remember. Look out for design details such as waterfall-style faucets, decorative basin drains, and sconces by mirrors to further elevate the aesthetics of your bathroom.
Modern, energy efficient designs like low-flow toilets and aerated faucets are great ways to reduce water usage and utility bills, while smart plumbing devices such as leak detection systems or voice-activated taps can enhance bathing experiences while increasing safety measures and increasing resale value.
An organized bathroom is essential to creating the spa-like experience, so consider installing stylish shelving to display folded towels and luxurious soaps. Extra storage may include knick-knacks, plants or photos framed onto frames to complete your peaceful setting. Use Hinkley lighting’s range of styles to suit your bathroom design perfectly!
