You may already know
your likes and dislikes and have a
clear picture in your mind of how
you want your finished project to
look. If you do not then cutting pictures
that you like out of magazines and
visiting showrooms for ideas is a
good start. If you still need help
then enlist the services of a professional
consultant. Simply Bathrooms offers
a full design service.
Think About …
Who will be using
this room?
Children, adults and the elderly
will all have different requirements.
Does more than one person need to
be able to use the space at the same
time?
The answers to these questions will
have a bearing on product choices
and layout.
Find out …
What type of water
pressure you have – this will
determine the range of plumbing fittings
and tap ware you are able to choose
from.
The current location of your toilet
suite may restrict your replacement
choice. The measurement needed is
from the wall to the centre of the
waste pipe.
Be Realistic …
Will the size of
your bathroom and your budget allow
you to have exactly what you want?
Does your anticipated time frame
for completion allow for the scope
of the project?
Be Flexible …
Unfortunately you
can’t always have exactly what
you want. This may be due to your
budget constraints or practical considerations
such as the set out of your toilet
plan or your water pressure so be
prepared to accept alternatives.
Helpful Hints …
Check your quotations
carefully. Make sure that you are
comparing ‘apples with apples’
and ask if you are not sure about
anything.
Ask your builder
how long the project is likely to
take. Be prepared for unforeseen factors
that may delay completion such as
rotten framing, poor existing plumbing or delays
with product availability.
Installation of a
tiled shower will take longer to complete
and require a little more maintenance
than an acrylic shower but will provide
a top quality, high-end finish for
your bathroom. Simply Bathrooms staff
are fully trained and approved in
this field.
Wall-hung vanities
will create a sense of space in a
small bathroom by increasing the visible
floor area.
Don’t forget
to consider heating, lighting and
ventilation. Getting these three things
right can make all the difference
to the end result.
