First, let’s talk floors. If you are looking for a floor that is easy to sweep and mop; porcelain or glazed tiles are going to be perfect for you. You want to avoid porous stones (such as limestone). They tend to absorb drips and will become stained over time. For non-slip floors, you will want to choose tiles with textured surfaces, matte finishes, or sand-containing glazes.
When using caulk make sure to go for an acrylic or hybrid formula. This way you can remove it without using harsh chemicals. Since caulk that contains mildewcide offers more long-term protection. Wiring is another thing you will want to change at the time of remodel. After long periods of time the wiring in your bathroom has been used and abused by endless hours of; curling irons, blow dryers, electric toothbrushes, and any other household appliance that we use on a daily basis. Swapping the GFCI outlets isn’t enough. Change the wiring with a 20 AMP circuit and make sure to install plenty of outlets.

Now let’s discuss style and trends. Storage space is always a great thing to keep in mind when planning a remodel. One of the most utilizing bathroom sinks will be a vanity with sink. While it takes up the most room, it has a great look and is great for storage. Therefore, an average bathroom vanity has about 15 cubic feet of storage. It normally has 10 inches of countertop on each side. Make sure to leave enough space to open the cabinet doors and drawers. Then there is the vessel sink. The sink bowl sits on top of the counter with this sink. The workspace is smaller than that of a vanity sink. It is also tougher to keep clean.
Here’s a little cheat-sheet for you when choosing a countertop. Natural stone would be best for the homeowners that vigorously take care of their high-end bathrooms. Granite is highly stain and scratch resistant. It also looks beautiful and classy. While these can be a bit pricier, you’ll get more for your buck. Marble and limestone must be sealed regularly (due to their porous surfaces). Abrasive surfaces can show water marks.
