Underestimating costsIgnoring the design processBuying mismatched hardware Buying inexpensive materialsIgnoring ventilationForgetting the users

Underestimating Costs

Your choice of altering the floors, walls, ceiling or installing sunken fixtures will take additional time, money and specialty contractors.

Ignoring the Design Process

Most people think that a bathroom has three or four components, but that’s not true. A typical bathroom has nearly fifty components that need to be researched, matched, ordered and sized. That’s why a high percentage bathroom remodels start with professional remodelers.

Buying Mismatched Hardware

Matching is always important, if the fixtures and hardware don’t match, it doesn’t look nice. For instance, if you choose a faucet that is finished in brushed nickel, make sure the components are also in brushed nickel.

Buying Inexpensive Materials

Never go for cheapest materials and omit critical components. Because expensive materials work better and last longer. Similarly never avoid sealant. If you have ceramic or porcelain tile, the grout lines must be sealed. Unsealed grout becomes dirty quickly.

Ignoring Ventilation

You won’t enjoy your new bathroom if it’s uncomfortably warm, cold or humid after a shower, right! Then don’t ignore ventilation. Poor ventilation can led to mold and mildew issues.

Forgetting The Users

Every user should be able to access and use every element of the bathroom comfortably. While choosing fixtures, consider the height, age, physical limitation and size of each user.

If you want to avoid the above mistakes, call a bathroom remodeling specialist such as
