2020 has had most of us at home a lot more than usual and we have all been affected in some way with a cancellation of some sort, Holiday plans especially have been impacted massively! Holidays to most is relaxation, just because we can’t travel anywhere we want why not invest into a new bright modern bathroom (or classic if you prefer) that is going to add value and comfort to your home and make you feel like you’re on holiday every day?
Having your bathroom renovated can be beneficial because the upgrades not only make your bathroom experience more comfortable, but it can also raise the value of your property. A modern bathroom renovation can consist of a quick straight swap of existing tapware and fixtures where possible to improve the aesthetics of the bathroom or you can go the whole hog and completely re-do the bathroom from tiles to light fixtures and everything in between. You can opt for hidden storage to hide your toiletries to give a clean minimalistic feel and choose top of the range toilets, bathtubs or showerheads for a more modern look and feel. Upgraded plumbing can also provide better water flow in showers and toilets without wasting water resources and increasing your water bill.
At World of Plumbing and Gas, we’ve just finished these renovation projects featuring new bathroom fixtures and accessories as well as plumbing upgrades.
Double Shower
A double shower in the bathroom is a popular choice for those with space for this to work. Having a double shower is convenient in cases with families with small children who prefer to shower all at the same time. There will be no waiting around or losing hot water. If you are worried about the water flow when both showers are in use, adequate pipe sizing is essential and should be carried out during the tube out stage of the renovation.
If required your bathroom may need to be restructured to allow for space to make the double shower fit comfortably and look at its best. This usually means getting a full bathroom renovation so that you can make adjustments to your water service and have your shower mixers and roses installed where you would prefer. Double showers can be installed side by side, facing each other or on different sides of your bathroom as the layout and space permits.
Above Counter Basin
An above counter basin is not only aesthetically pleasing by sitting above the counter or the bench as the name implies, but also makes your space look bigger and allows you extra storage. This type of basin is also easy to clean, with only the seal around the base a place where dirt and dust often collects.
In this recent installation, we have used a curved bench that the customer chose to turn upside down to give more bench space at the top. The long-curved shelf created an elegant and unique look. There’s extra space below which can also be used as storage. In addition, we have also installed a sleek single lever basin mixer and bottle trap to compliment the basin.
Freestanding Bath
A freestanding bath is also another popular addition when you are renovating your bathroom. It gives the feeling of being in a spa or a resort where you can unwind after a hard day’s work.
It is a trend that has continued to stick around as it can be used as a focal point in a bathroom and there are also many design choices to suit your individual needs whether it be a true freestanding bath, a back to wall bath or a claw bath. You can customise the size and shape of your freestanding bath to fit your space and the aesthetic of your room.
Smart Toilet
In our latest installation, we have used the Toto Neorest AH Bidet Toilet Suite, which is a luxury item for toilet upgrades. Made in Japan, the Toto Neorest AH Bidet Toilet Suite is a remote control operated toilet with adjustable options designed for more comfortable use. The toilet features automatic tornado flushing but makes use of less water compared to regular toilets.
It is also the ultimate bidet experience with choices of warm or cold water in the rear or the front of the toilet. The toilet also features eWater or antibacterial water sprayed over the bidet wand and the toilet bowl to sanitize it every 8 hours. Another special feature of the Toto Neorest AH Bidet Toilet Suite which makes it a popular choice for residential or commercial installations is its inbuilt cistern.
