Fundamentally, a bathroom is designed to serve various practical functions. However, that does not mean it cannot be a location for comfort and entertainment. With the help of a professional plumber, here are four bathroom upgrades that you can adopt to guarantee that the time spent in the bathroom is pleasant and comfortable.
Heated Floors
Homeowners with tiled bathrooms are no strangers to the freezing cold of their bathroom flooring on bare feet especially in the mornings during winter. To deal with the issue, a plumber can install electric heated floors.
The plumber sets up the heating cables intertwined with mesh mats, packed in between sheets of skeletal set, and enclosed under porcelain, ceramic or stone tile. The result is a functional heating system underneath your bathroom floor, which preheats your flooring before you set foot inside the bathroom.
Entertainment Systems
HD Television sets and surround sound systems have found their way inside the bathroom space these days. For technology-oriented junkies, the installation of such entertainment systems inside the bathroom allows them catch their morning news bulletin while shaving or taking a shower in the bathroom, listen to their favourite song tracks while inside the shower and stay updated on their favourite sport game.
Fresh Caulk and Grout
Grout and caulk is another often ignored, yet significant detail. Homeowners are aware that when caulk and grout become grimy in the bathroom, they become hideous. A professional plumber can help add straight, fresh deposits of caulk around the sink and bathtub. This will definitely add glitter inside your bathroom. In fact, you will be surprised at the degree of difference that this sort of upgrade can make. Caulk and grout are relatively inexpensive, so this is one of the cheapest upgrades to revitalise your bathroom.
Towel Warmers
Towel warmers are another straightforward bathroom upgrade that instills an additional element of indulgence to any bathroom space. Not only do the warmer racks warm up the towels but also dry the towels post-use and this helps get rid of funny smells inside the bathroom. They come in various types to suit every taste.
- The radiator towel warmer makes use of the hot water tap supply inside the bathroom to heat the metal towel rails and consequently the towels.
- The electric towel warmer is linked directly to the electrical power supply of your home. The warmer tracks are simply heated by inner coils.
- The hydronic towel warmer uses electricity for operation; however the electricity heats a thick gel solution within the rails to warm up and dry the towels.
