When you do bathroom remodeling in Newport Beach, CA you’re obviously going to make a bathroom look a whole heck of a lot better. But did you know that you can also make a bathroom infinitely safer during the remodeling process? We’ve come up with a list of 4 safety features that you can install in a bathroom while remodeling it. You should think about adding them to your bathroom the next time you remodel it.
1. Anti-slip flooring
The floors in a remodeled bathroom are bound to get wet once you start using them on a regular basis. It’s why you should stay away from ordinary tile floors that might get very slippery when they have water on the surface of them. Instead, you should go with anti-slip tile floors or vinyl floors that won’t get slippery when wet. They’ll allow you and your family members to use your bathroom without having to worry about slipping and falling.
2. Grab bars
No matter how good the anti-slip floors in your bathroom remodeling in Newport Beach, CA might be, there is still always going to be a chance that you could slip and fall if you lose your balance. It’s why you should install grab bars throughout your bathroom so that you can hold onto them when you feel unstable. These grab bars are great for when you’re getting in and out of a bathtub or shower. They’re also great for those who struggle to sit down and get up from a toilet. You should find a few good spots to put grab bars so that you and your family members can begin putting them to good use right away.
3. Handheld showerhead
In theory, a handheld showerhead might not seem like much of a safety feature. But if you have small kids or older people living in your home, it’s going to make it so much easier for them to bathe in your bathtub or shower. You’ll be able to take the handheld showerhead down for them to make it more convenient for them to take a shower. It could very well prevent them from slipping and falling in your bathtub or shower.
4. Ample lighting
If you don’t take advantage of any of the other safety features listed here, please take advantage of this one! If a remodeled bathroom is too dark, it’s going to be a safety risk right from the start. You should incorporate at least one bright lighting fixture into the mix in your remodeled bathroom. You should also think about adding windows and/or skylights to bring even more natural light into space. Outside of the fact that they’ll help you to see better when you’re getting ready in your bathroom, they’ll also make it so much safer than it would be otherwise.
