Consider Safety in Bathroom Remodeling
Permalink  
 


If you could simultaneously make your bathroom safer and more beautiful, wouldn't you do it? Many Granite State homeowners are impressed to find out that NH bathroom remodeling companies can offer new products with built-in safety features. Even grab bars for elderly and disabled people now come in designer styles and finishes. They're all part of a safety-conscious trend in bathroom upgrades. Non-slip surfaces are part of many newer shower bases, and you can consider them in your choice of tile and other flooring materials. Single-handle shower controls also keep the hot water safely in the farthest position.

Bathrooms from prior eras weren't recklessly designed, but they did create more opportunities for falls and accidental events. As time and life experience have passed, designers have learned from past mistakes and followed newer safety mandates. When you shop for bathroom items today, you'll select from a crop of carefully designed pieces that consider safety. Now, you can buy things with styling you love, and rest assured they are safer to use. For children and older family members, bathroom safety upgrades are especially important. They are most vulnerable to mishaps.

When it comes to the look of your bathroom, their choices are broader than ever. Tub-to-shower conversions offer the opportunity to add a spacious new shower to your bathroom, even if it's smaller in square footage. A larger shower means room for extras and add-ons like a corner seat and rainfall showerhead. It's much safer to step into a floor-level shower than climb over an older bathtub's side. When you add glass doors, they give the illusion that the room is larger. A conventional tub and shower curtain arrangement reduces the room's sight lines and gives the impression it is much smaller.

Bathrooms in older homes that have not gone through a home inspection recently may have conventional electric receptacles in places where ground-fault plugs are needed. When you work with a competent bathroom remodeler, they will help you consider every potential safety upgrade. Some things, like non-slip shower bases and tile, are more prominent, while finer points, like the electrical receptacle upgrades, are less apparent. When you have a complete bathroom remodeling that brings your home up to today's standards, you'll enjoy many benefits – and they will make the room safer for everyone.
