10 Things to Pay Attention to in Bathroom Renovation: Extra Caution Needed for Families with Elderly Members and Children

The bathroom is an indispensable place in every home. It is different from the living room, which is a large exposed area for people to move around in, and it is also different from the bedroom, which simply holds a bed and a wardrobe. Compared with these places, the bathroom occupies a relatively small area, yet at the same time it has to hold more things.

Washing machine, bathtub, toilet and so on. When it holds more things, many problems follow. Today Huahua wants to tell you about the issues you should pay attention to during renovation. Dealing with problems after they arise is much more troublesome.

1. It is best to choose an odor-proof floor drain. Is there any objection to this? If you do not choose an odor-proof one, how will you deal with the smell coming back at night??

2. Choose a toilet of good quality. It is worth spending a little more money on this. After all, it would be embarrassing if the water pressure is insufficient and it does not flush cleanly..

3. Regarding electrical wiring, the main consideration is that the bathroom has many electrical appliances, such as the washing machine and lighting, so the circuit layout should be planned in advance before renovation, so that there will not be enough outlets later.

4. Do not use mosaic tiles on the walls. Because you will often be washing and rinsing things in the bathroom, the walls get dirty easily. It is best to choose flat tiles, which are easier to wipe, and even the corners can be wiped clean. With mosaic tiles, that is not necessarily the case.

5. Remember one high and one low. The high spot is generally at the bathroom doorway, which can effectively prevent moisture and dampness. The one low spot refers to the shower area, so that water does not easily accumulate in the bathroom.

6. Install more sockets. The bathroom is a shared area, and there will be many places where electricity is needed: washing machine, hair dryer, electric toothbrush, shaver... It never hurts to install a few more. In addition, it is best to choose moisture-proof and splash-proof sockets. Those with children should pay even more attention, so as not to leak electricity.

7. Install an exhaust fan in the bathroom. Just like point one, is there any objection to this?

8. Silicone sealant should also be of good quality. If it is too inferior, it tends to turn yellow and grow mold over time. If your home has light-colored tiles and there is yellow silicone sealant along the edges, how ugly it looks.

9. If possible, make a wall cabinet. It is unavoidable that a family cannot always stay clean and tidy at every moment. When you occasionally slack off, you can put things into the wall cabinet. Even if you do not slack off, it is still good to put washbasins and daily necessities inside, to prepare for unexpected needs, you know what I mean.

10. The bathroom must have anti-slip measures. If there are elderly people and children at home, pay even more attention to anti-slip measures. Usually there may be water in the bathroom and someone may forget to wipe it up. Better safe than sorry. If someone really falls, the loss outweighs the gain.

You can check the points Huahua mentioned today against your own bathroom. The main issue is safety. If there is anything that can be modified, it is best to change it. It is all for safety and comfortable living.
