subject: Update Your Bathroom Accessories [print this page] At the time of building a new home or remodeling, a lot of different plumbing fixtures and accessories are required. In these plumbing fixtures, you will find many choices. However, you should try to choose those plumbing fixtures that increase the beauty of your bathroom and are long lasting. Here we will learn some tips for choosing such material.
Fixtures for the bathroom should be practical and durable. They should be tough enough to withstand years of usage without wearing, rusting or molding. Consider your entire decor including the colors of your floors and walls and the style used on other items in the room.
You can choose a bathtub from four different styles available. The first one is old-type enamel cast-iron bathtub with the China-glazing finish. It is generally used in new construction and is extremely heavy. It does not produce any sound and can be obtained by spending $250.
Second is molded plastic bathtub that resembles the cast-iron tub but is thicker than it. This tub is not very heavy in weight and can be easily used while remodeling your bathroom. You can get this tub in many different styles and colors just by spending $250. These tubs generally have a full shower/tub combination with built-in walls.
Third one is enameled steel tub that is available in white and many more colors. It is finished with a ceramic-glazed material. You can get it by spending $250. Forth one is fiberglass tub that can be fixed directly on the floor or on a platform. It is available in many different shapes and sizes. In some of these models, you will also get spa features but it is quite expensive also.
Toilet is also an important part of bathroom so it should be comfortable and practical. You don't need to go behind a fancy toilet but it is better to choose a quality product. Dual-flush toilets having two flush buttons- one for removing liquid waste and other for solid waste removal is also a good option for your toilet as it saves water to a great deal.
You also need to give a consideration to your sink. A bathroom sink is very essential and is used for many different purposes. A V-shaped vessel sink bowl made of glass, copper or stainless steel is quite famous now-a-days.
Choose durable faucets made of materials that are rust-free and provide an even flow of water. With small children, you'll want to be sure the faucets have temperature settings built in to prevent scalding. For decor purposes, choose matching faucets for the bathtub and sink. Some popular finishes for faucets include brass, brushed nickel, oiled bronze and the popular chrome plate.
