Bathroom Remodeling
A bathroom remodel in days past was actually a simple affair -- simply replace worn out tiles with new ones, exchange your cracked sink for one in the same color and if you were feeling particularly extravagant, install a bath tub in basic white or cream. These days, it's very possible that you will exceed your bath remodel budget with the staggering range in bathroom fittings and accessories. Remember that the bathroom is first and foremost a functional room. If it fails to offer continuity and convenience, then you will soon find that your expensive fittings get in the way, rather than make life convenient.
Even if you can do without a tub in your bath you can't possibly neglect installing a shower. A bath shower remodel depends first and foremost on the space available to you. If you have a large bath, no restrictions apply, and you can quickly turn your shower into a personal spa. Choices in shower stalls in these days are extensive, and range from large 2 person stalls that eliminate the need for waiting for your turn, and spa-like stalls with a ledge to sit on. If you have a smaller sized bath, however, a stall may or may not be a viable option. Don't sacrifice functionality for looks -- if a stall won't fit into your bathroom, don't install one. Instead, choose a detachable shower or slide shower that allows you to shower in a small space. If your bath already includes a bath tub, a tub-shower combo is a perfect choice.
Of all the fixtures that you could include in your bathroom remodel, a bath tub is the one that will add the highest value to your home. The basic wall to wall model in white or cream is still the popular choice of American home owners. If you are looking at a cast iron alcove tub, your bathroom model will include reinforcing the floor to support the weight of the tub. If you have a smaller bathroom, a corner tub that can be triangular or in other shapes, fitted into a corner can give you the luxury of a tub, while still leaving you with plenty of space. Free standing tubs can be placed anywhere in the room, and they look especially grand while installed in the middle of a bathroom. The claw footed antique style is still a must in classic bathrooms, while sleek granite and marble stand alone tube are perfect for sophisticated baths. If you desire a cast iron claw footed tub, your bath tub remodeling will have to include floor buttressing.
