Bathroom and Shower Improvements Adaptable for the Young and Old

August 22, 2016

With bathroom renovations, homeowners often need to consider the needs of all the family members. The age groups of a normal family can range from zero to one year up to over 65 years, depending upon how many generations live under the same roof. Luckily, there are a number of bathroom and shower improvements you can perform that are suitable for both young and old users of this room.

Single-Sink or Double-Sink Cabinets

You can select from single-sink or double-sink cabinetry to address your bathroom needs. When there will be two or more people using the bathroom sinks simultaneously, such as your children or you and your spouse, a double-sink model fulfils your needs better than a single-sink will if you have sufficient space for one. Sinks come in recessed, semi-recessed and non-recessed models, and come in various shapes ranging from circular to rectangular. If you are a parent of an infant, you may even select a large rectangular, single sink that enables you to bath your baby easily and safely.

Floor-Level Showers With or Without Seating

Today, floor-level showers allow all age groups to enter and exit them without stepping over a raised edge. You can select models that contain seats for those in your house who prefer or need to sit to shower. Even people without disabilities find that it is easier to wash their feet in a seated position. Other features that these modern showers include are message jets, wide shower heads, mixer tapware, soap dishes and glass shower enclosures. In addition, there are freestanding and drop-in tubs available in different shapes and sizes for inclusion along with the shower.

Modern, Water-Conserving Toilets

A wide assortment of modern, water-conserving toilets are available today in various styles and sizes. Choose the one that fits your family's usage habits in the best manner. You can even buy and install urinals for the boys and men if they prefer this plumbing fixture for urinating in over toilets.

Multi-Level, Custom Shelves for Storage

Custom shelves from the floor to ceiling provide multi-level storage for towels, bath toys and toiletries. You can place towels of various levels in order to provide easy access to these elements for the kids and the adults in your home.

Safety Bars

Installation of safety bars helps people of all ages to enter, exit and steady themselves in the tub, shower or toilet areas. Disabled members of your family definitely require these bars, but the other members also will benefit from their inclusion in this room.

Slip-Resistant Flooring

Along with all the above renovations, you also can install slip-resistant flooring in the bathroom. Different styles and colours of this flooring are available for your consideration. This floor option will not become slippery when wet.
