Plumbing Upgrades of All Sizes: Advice and Direction

 If you're constructing a new home or renovating an existing one, plumbing repairs are almost always a part of the process. It's critical to understand the aspects of residential plumbing that can be improved and why, so that your hard-earned money is spent wisely on components and fixtures that provide excellent value.

Commonly Upgraded Areas During Construction and Repair

1 - Fixtures and Faucets

Both the bathroom and the kitchen have fixtures that can be changed to a different theme, size, or brand. There are several different finishes to choose from, even ones that aren't chrome. Consider polished nickel or polished brass as options. Stainless steel faucets and fixtures will make even more modern homes stand out.

Evaluate whether you want to go for a single handle faucet or a mini widespread or full widespread faucet. These are available in sizes ranging from 4 to 8 inches in diameter and frequently feature a dual handle configuration including both hot and cold handles as well as a standalone tap. Consider installing a pull-out faucet in the kitchen to make things like dishwashing more convenient.

2 - Restrooms

Any main house toilet is heavily used, so improvements should be seriously considered during any bathroom redesign, addition, or new construction. Adults like elongated bowls, and they may add a unique look to your new bathroom.

Another upgrade that might seem minor but has a significant effect on the room is a different colour. Avoid trendy colours that will age the room, but don't be hesitant to go for anything other than the traditional white. Consider if a dual flush toilet would improve the space's performance.

3 - Showers and Tubs

It's possible that upgrading your bathtub/shower combination would be the most significant improvement you create in an existing bathroom. For a fast remodel, estimate the cost of installing a tub and shower liner. For a more chic look, consider tiling or adding glass blocks to let in more light.

Your tub-shower combo's fixtures and features can range from basic to luxurious. Steam showers are popular in executive homes, but they are also simple to instal in a condo or a smaller home. Showerheads and sprayers with rain domes are a great feature that will make your shower experience even more relaxing. To get a sense of what is available, visit a plumbing showroom or stroll around model homes.

4 - Filtration and Softeners

A water softener installation or upgrade can be needed depending on the hardness of the water in your area. To ensure that the water is adequately softened for better laundry and baths, you'll need to find a softener salt supplier and perform regular maintenance on this home appliance.

Once you've given it some thought, plumbing improvements make sense. Choose which areas of the house you'd like to see more expenses incurred on.
