How to Make a New and Stylish Bathroom

What should I do to plan my layout?

A good idea is to draw a plan for your bathroom. Mark the locations of the water pipes, waste outlets and radiators. This will allow you to create the most efficient layout possible.

You should also make sure that you don't remove the bathroom suite from your old one before the new one arrives.

Once it arrives, make sure you have all of the items you ordered. Also, make sure you inspect each item carefully for damage.

Do I need to include a shower?

A shower is a great addition to any bathroom. It offers a quicker and more convenient way to wash than a bath. Plus, it can save water.

It is crucial that you select the right shower for your water system if you plan to add a shower.

• You should consider an electric shower if there is no hot water supply.
• A mixer shower is possible if you have both hot and cold water.

Decide if you want the shower to be placed over the bath or separately. You should ensure that the shower enclosure can accept the pipework.

If you want to modernize and give your bathroom a stylish and contemporary look, a walk-in shower enclosure is a right choice.

A walk-in shower is an option if you have an existing bathtub that you wish to replace. It measures 1700mm in length and is approximately the same size as a standard bath.

Walk-in shower enclosures can also be ordered in lengths of 1400mm. This is ideal for those with smaller spaces. You have two options for walk-in shower enclosures: one is the square design walk-in, and the other is the curved design. This style features modern curves to give it a designer look.

You can either fit them with a side panel (available as 700, 800 or 900mm in three sizes) or with a recess. Both styles have a polished-silver effect and frameless designs for a modern look. They also feature 8mm thick glass and a slimline reinforced acrylic tray.

An optional tray panel or leg set can be used to hide any plumbing that is required above the floor. High flow waste can remove up to 36 litres per minute. These showers are great for people who shower more than they bathe, and are ideal for busy individuals.

Be sure to know the water system

 It is always good to be familiar with the workings of your water system. The cold water feed will most likely be fed from mains. A stopcock is located in the kitchen. Sometimes, cold water feed can also be fed from the cold tank in the loft.

The valve that controls the water flow will control the tank water supply.

How do you heat your bathroom?

Installing underfloor heating is a great option if you're replacing an existing floor. This will allow you to choose stone or ceramic tiles and will make your floor feel warm during winter.

Bathrooms are perfect for electric under-floor heating systems. They are also the most simple to install.

A heated towel rail can be installed to replace a standard radiator. There are many styles and sizes available. The towel radiator can be used to dry towels quickly and provide warm towels.

Ventilation

It is important to ventilate your bathroom. If you have one, make sure it is open before and after you use it.

For efficient ventilation, you can install an extractor fan if there is no window.
