Kid-Safe Design

If you have very young children running around the home, you always want to ensure their safety. Your child’s washroom project will look very different than a master bath remodel. Home accidents are preventable with updated flooring and child-proof design.

Bathmats can only prevent slippage in specific areas. Install slip-resistant flooring to protect your children anywhere in the space. Textured stone tile and ceramic flooring are also great for preventing slips.

Small children often have a tough time seeing above the counter or stepping into a bathtub. Small plastic stools may not stay in place very well, but installing steps is a simple solution. A lift-out step attached to a drawer or cabinet under the sink is more durable and reliable for preventing falls. A mounted step into the basin, as well as a rail to hold on to, can also make it easier for them to climb in and out. Other things to consider include:

  • Choosing faucets and handles that are easy to use and rounded with no sharp corners or edges.
  • Adding more storage with locking cabinets to keep dangerous items out of reach.
  • Using wainscoting to protect your drywall from excessive splashing.
  • A simple shower remodel or installing a kid-friendly shower door that allows your kids to easily step in and out without hassle.

Bathroom Ventilation Tips

Maintain a clean and healthy space by keeping mold and mildew from flourishing in your space. Proper ventilation is a necessary part of the bath remodeling process. This is especially the case for family homes. The size and type of shower you are installing affect the number of fans needed.

If your space is 100 sq. feet or less, one fan placed above or near the shower will suffice. The fan only needs to be capable of 100 CFM (cubic feet of air moved) per minute.

If your space is larger than 100 sq. feet, it is recommended to install additional ones. The fan size the shower needs depends on the type. If it is a walk-in stall, then 50 CFM would work. For a shower and bathtub, you will need one that approaches 100 CFM, especially if the space is large. A window, if possible, would also help with air ventilation.

Without proper ventilation systems, the room will get stuffy, and the excess moisture in the air from hot showers could cause mold and mildew. Gas from cleaning chemicals can also affect your health without proper ventilation. Getting your bathroom remodeled with new ventilation systems is the best way to reduce the amount of cleaning you have to do. Call Kaminskiy Design and Remodeling for a free consultation!

Bathroom Plumbing

The most difficult part of a bathroom renovation is configuring the plumbing. Sinks, showers, and toilets all need it. There are the typical hot and cold lines that they use as well. However, whirlpool tubs need different sets of pipes and plumbing structures. Discuss what options are best for you with your custom bathroom contractor! You want to pick lines that are durable and will not need repairs for years to come.

Most contractors are moving away from copper lines and transitioning to cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipes. These types of lines are much more flexible with similar durability. PEX pipes come with a 25-year warranty and allow you to maximize your budget.


Pros and Cons of Low-Flow Toilets

Low-flow toilets are a big focus in bath remodels to ensure energy efficiency. On average, low-flow toilets use about half the gallons per flush as normal toilets. But are they a better alternative?

The big problem with low-flow toilets is that one flush may not always be enough. Having to flush twice defeats the purpose. We recommend using a dual-flush toilet. These have two options for flush capacity, depending on how much you need to flush. These will allow you to use about a half-gallon more per flush when necessary.


Space-Saving Design

As much as a large bathroom would be nice, sometimes space is limited. Extra towels, toiletries, and cleaning products all need a storage spot. Wall-mounted cabinets or shelving can help in this regard.

Mounting holders inside cabinets save space and keep your things organized. Toothbrushes, cosmetics, and razors can all hang on the wall. This allows the actual shelves and drawers to have space for larger items like hairdryers and towels. A small bathroom does not need to feel cramped if the fixtures are well-organized.


Common Mistakes In A Bath Remodel

There are many common pitfalls when remodeling your bathroom. For example, if plumbing or ventilation is done incorrectly, you will need to make expensive repairs later. 

Here are a few mistakes new remodelers make:

  • More does not mean better – A bathroom remodel should simplify the room and make life easier. As we said above, an organized space is better than adding extra clutter to an already cramped room. Keep this in mind through the early steps of the design process!
  • Poor lighting – Improper placement or inadequate lighting makes preparing for the day difficult. Ensure you have enough lighting to clearly see your gorgeous bathroom.
  • No natural light — Natural light is very important for creating a spa-like atmosphere. If a window is not an option, get creative and put in a skylight. This room is one of the first places you go to in the morning. Bringing in natural light allows you to wake up to a more peaceful ambiance.
  • Toilet as the main focus – The toilet should not be the first thing you see in the room. Small spaces make this less avoidable, but highlighting the toilet is an easy way to make the room feel strange. Try choosing a design that instead focuses on the shower or bathtub.
  • Bad sealing – Leaks are the last thing you will want to deal with after investing so much time and money into the remodel. Choosing the right bathroom remodeling contractors is key to ensuring your design is properly sealed so it can last for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What determines the cost of your new bathroom?

Remodeling a bathroom can be a complex process. There are many different things to consider when determining the price. The materials you want for your bathroom, the cost of installing new floors or putting on a fresh coat of paint, etc. Cabinets usually take up half of the cost of a bathroom remodeling project. What you want to be altered and what you need re-done will help us find out the total cost of your remodeling project. 

How long does it take to remodel a bathroom?

Under ideal circumstances, a bathroom remodel can take around 3-4 weeks. The exact time, though, depends on the scope of the project. If your bathroom needs new piping or wiring, the timeline will look different than more superficial updates to the room’s look. Kaminskiy makes sure that your remodel will be finished within the timeframe agreed upon prior to the start of the project. 

Do you need permits to remodel your bathroom?

You need the proper permits if your remodeling project requires changes to the structure of your home, installation of new wiring, or redoing piping. For smaller aesthetic changes, such as fresh paint and changing out sinks, you do not need permits. 

Can you remodel your own bathroom?

While it is possible to remodel your own bathroom, it is not recommended beyond small superficial changes to the paint and fixtures. Re-doing piping and electrical requires training experience and proper permits to complete. In many cases, remodeling projects will take longer to complete without the experience of professionals.
