Options For Your Bath Remodel Project

Bath Remodeling is one of the best ways to redo your bathroom. But, you may be wondering how to choose the right tub and tile for a bath remodel job. The key is in finding the right Portland Bath Remodel Services Company that will help you achieve your bath remodel goals. Here are some key points to keep in mind in selecting the right company:

 

o What type of material would you like? Portland Bath Remodel Services Companies offers many types of Portland cement tile, Portland stone tiles, natural stone products, marble, terrazzo, steel, granite, brass, and other porcelain or marble products. Of course, the material you select should match with your bathroom design (i.e., shabby chic bathtub, ultra modern bathtubs, etc. ).

o How many showers or tubs will you have in your home improvement project? The number of showers and tubs, a bath remodel requires can vary greatly depending on the size, layout, features, and other bath remodel components in your bathroom. A basic rule of thumb is the fewer fixtures you need, the cheaper the total cost will be. But, remember to factor in the possible installation headaches such as securing brackets and pipes.

o How much floor space do you have to work with? Bathroom remodels are notorious for taking up a lot of floor space. If you have a smaller room, you may want to consider shower/tub/tubs set-up where all of the bathtub components are installed in one room. The most popular option in this type of set-up is a “per-piece” bath remodel where you only have one large bathtub/shower/tub and several small porcelain or marble pieces, which can still look pretty. This option does require that you remove the floor covering in your bath, such as tiles, so it’s not recommended for places that will see a lot of moisture.

o How many bathroom accessories will you be installing? Adding new bathroom accessories such as cabinets and toilets takes up some floor space, so if you have limited floor space for a bath remodel project, you might want to think about getting rid of some of the accessories and replacing them with newer, more efficient models. It can be a lot less expensive to update your toilet than it is to replace cabinets, for example. Showers, faucets, toilets, and bathtubs can also be easily updated with the right plumbing tools, materials, and fixtures. If you plan on doing a bathroom remodel yourself, you may want to consider purchasing a bathroom fixture book or two that outlines all of the different options for the types of fixtures that are available and the materials they’re made from.

One option that you have for a bath remodel is to do a full bathroom remodel and then install a bathtub and shower combination using acrylic or fiberglass. This offers you the opportunity to add a bathtub without having to replace your bathtub or shower, and it gives you the opportunity to add a spa like feature along with a comfortable shower. This is done by adding a wall surround to the bathtub and shower combination, typically made out of acrylic. This wall surround wraps around the entire tub area, creating a custom designed spa-like enclosure that has spas and showers built into it.
