Showers and Baths

The Standard Home Spa

As the home spa comes in many different forms, it would be difficult to state that one in particular is the standard. It can be as simple as a multiple showerhead or as extravagant as a bathroom hot tub. The price range for a home spa is just as varied and there is most likely a model that is right for any budget.

Home Spa Bathtubs

One of the most common and desirable home improvements on the market is the installation of a spa bathtub. A spa bathtub is a wonderful place to relax and get rid of the tension of the workday. Soothing jets of water can be adjusted to massage strength or a low, gentle current. The air jets can bring large bubbles or a soda like fizz depending on the mood.

Sample BathA bathtub spa is a lot like an outdoor hot tub with a few important distinctions. The most practical difference is that the tub is meant for a bathroom, giving you the privacy to really make your time in it about unwinding. The other most important difference is that spa tubs are meant to be drained after every use. A hot tub requires much the same attention and chemical maintenance as a pool. With a home spa in your bathroom, fresh new water is put in before each use.

Shower Spa

Probably the easiest and least expensive form of home spa is the shower spa, though the term can mean several different things. In its most basic form, a shower spa is simply a series of showerheads that replace the single head of a traditional shower. This option is very inexpensive; the most notable features are the additional heads and water jet angles. This type of design will require no plumbing changes. It's a snap to install, and certainly a step in the right direction.

The higher end of shower spas will require some pretty intense installation, and a much larger investment, as well. You'll be in the middle of multiple jets of relaxing, hot water whether you're standing up or lounging on the built-in chair. These designs come with a wide array of features ranging from steam and massage jets to iPod ports and telephone jacks. The most functional feature of a shower spa, however, is that there's no tub to fill; those on busy schedules can certainly appreciate that!

Whether you are building a new home or you are planning on remodeling the bathroom in the bathroom you already have, one of the most important things you need to consider is your bathroom showers. The ability to jump in a hot shower and let the warm water let the care of the world wash away is one that you probably take for granted. However, when you are building or remodeling a bathroom, it is important that your shower is put together well so that you won't have any unwanted water problems. There are a variety of things to consider for your shower, the faucets for your shower, the doors for your shower, and any shelves that you may want to install in your bathroom showers.

Thermostatic Shower Controls Put the Power at Your Fingertips!Thermostatic Showers

We've all been in a shower when the toilet has flushed downstairs or the washing machine has come on and taken a sharp intake of breath as the temperature plummets!

To maintain a constant temperature without having to fiddle with the hot and cold water inlets, thermostatic shower valves are the only option. The temperature can be pre-set and the valve will ensure that the temperature is maintained to within + or - a degree. What's more for a family bathroom a thermostatic shower is the only sensible option. You can rest assured that a child cannot scald itself when the water is being pre-mixed to a prescribed temperature.

Pressure Balance Showers

Pressure Balance showers protect your family with economical, reliable shower protection from scalding and cold shocks. If a toilet is flushed or a dishwasher is turned on, the available hot or cold water supply has an immediate pressure change. A pressure balance shower will safeguard against these sudden, dangerous shower temperature shocks by balancing cold and hot water pressure. They will typically maintain water temperature within a couple of degrees with a 50% drop in either the hot or cold water supply. If the cold water supply is cut off for whatever reason the valve will shut off the flow of water for maximum protection. A single handle control which allows a wide comfort zone so you can gradually and precisely regulate the water temperature from cold to hot.

Stationary Dual Shower Heads

This water fixture is attached to a single, stationary waterline just like a traditional shower. However, instead of one centered head, there are two heads which fork from the same single water source. These units remain stationary, but you get double the water and double the angles. Dual shower heads provide much more room in a stall, which means that more than one person is able to use it at a time. Yes, Mom and Dad, this includes you as well.Thermostatic Shower Controls Put the Power at Your Fingertips! Have you ever tried to take a shower with a significant other? Whether is it for a little romantic rendezvous or simply because you're both running late for an appointment, showering at the same time in a traditional shower can be a drag. One of you is always out of the water, shivering and waiting your turn. And if there's only one shower head, things can get cramped, even when you're bathing by yourself. But these double heads can answer this problem by allowing more room to work around. And if the space is being shared, each individual now has their own water jet that they can adjust to their own personal preference. They are usually installed without washers so that there is no threat of a leak, and they often come with several specialty options:

  • Adjustable Heads: Don't let the word stationary fool you: the two heads can be adjusted to any angle just like any traditional shower so that you can choose where you want the water positioned on your body.
  • Adjustable Pressure: Many of these products come with the option of adjustable water pressure for each head. This means that if you have shoulder aches, you can make the water pressure more powerful on that one side, while still keeping the other faucet at a normal level.
  • Massaging Heads: Some units will come with massaging capabilities, where each head is adjusted to pulsate at different settings. This allows the feel of a relaxing hot tub right in your own shower.
Showers can make the experience exceptional.

Double Showers and Vertical Spas

 

Various luxury shower installations are as various as they are popular. Everybody has their own preferences and needs, but everybody wants to have a quality shower experience every time. Double shower heads can maximize space and give you a total shower experience that won't leave half your body still freezing when you enter the shower. Two-person showers and separate shower and tub installations are also becoming increasingly popular for large bathrooms.

More Options

Like any water fixture, there are a million different designs and materials: plastic, brass, metallic, traditional, or contemporary; the options are limitless. So even if you're replacing your old head with one of these dual faucets, there shouldn't be a problem matching the new product to your bathroom's pre-existing decor. Also, there are a few different types of models out there to choose from:

Showers can make the experience exceptional.

Shower Doors

Framed doors are becoming less popular for shower enclosures. The frameless alternative requires a thicker glass and sturdier hinges and may or may not include a header, which runs across the top of the enclosure to add stability and support to the glass. The thicker glass might be 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick, which results in a more expensive product. Classic door configurations like single swing or sliding are possibilities while newer designs redefine the shower enclosure door like Basco's Infinity 1722 clear glass enclosure that features two French style swinging doors.

Glass choice is an important consideration to make when selecting a shower door. A few factors can come into play that might encourage a homeowner to choose from the obscured or patterned variety. Privacy is one consideration. An obscured glass vocers up the shower occupant more, something aging couples in particular seek. Within the patterned glass family there are nearly coutless styles, including fluted, beveled and etched patterns. Patterned glass styles and their accompanying names are as numerous as the companies that manufacture them and can add flair and artistry to a room's overall aesthetic. Clear glass remains the most popular choice for doors, and it suits the shower or bathroom remodel that will include stylish tile, fixtures and shower accessories worth showing off and making visible.

Glass treatment is another consideration when selecting the shower enclosure. Shower glass has a reputation for deteriorating over time and being difficult to clean. Factory-applied treatment like Basco's Aquaglide protect the glass from accumulation grime, making it easier to clean.

The basic bathroom vanity includes a mirror or medicine cabinet above, a sink or basin and counter or 'top' below, and a cabinet beneath. In some cases the sink and top are one unit. To call the bathroom vanity an important fixture in the bathroom would be an understatement. Everyone stops at the vanity upon entering or leaving the bathroom, whether it is to wash hands, fix hair or find lotion. Homeowners today often use vanities to set the tone or motif in decorating a bathroom. Bathroom vanities are available in a variety of styles and sizes dependent upon taste, functionality and financial commitment.

Showers can make the experience exceptional.

Bathroom vanities can be made according to the priority of style and design, function and practicality, or cost. For example, a bathroom vanity focused on style might include leather wrapped wooden doors with leather loop pulls and a leather wrapped mirror, with a form-flowing vitreous china sink and top, or a hand-carved gilded Louis IV mirror above an Italian marble top and marble sink set in a cabinet with ornately carved doors, for a more antique look. If homeowners place function and practicality as the top priority, they might choose faucets set high in the wall for easy washing, a raised basin made from easy to clean materials and a scratchproof top with splashguard.

The discerning customer should be aware of the vanities' height. Many people end up with vanities that are too short for many adults. Remember to measure your space before ordering or making your bathroom vanity.

If price is the deciding factor you may have to exchange marble, hardwood, enamel glaze for particleboard, foil, polypropylene, fiberboard, and acrylic paint, and a basic ceramic sink instead of a Tuscan marble basin. However, price doesn't have to compromise style or aesthetic quality, as there are a myriad of excellent antique reproductions and contemporary vanities to choose from and if you are handy there is an array of home assembly kits available on the market. The variety of mirrors and vanity lights available will easily fit into any budget. The bathroom vanity can bring warmth interest and drama to any bathroom and should be carefully considered as part of any home decorating plan.

Vanity Sinks and Tops

There are numerous options when it comes to the sink itself. If you choose not to go with a "traditional" cabinet vanity you can choose a pedestal or console sink.

Thermostatic Shower Controls Put the Power at Your Fingertips!

Pedestal sinks have long been a traditional look especially in smaller bathrooms. The one leg of a pedestal sink can free up the visual space around the sink to give the appearance of more space. The down side to pedestal sinks are the lack of storage space. Pedestal sinks were once made of cast iron, but most manufacturers now produce in vitreous china. You can have a modern looking pedestal sinks made from metal, glass, and other newer materials.

Showers can make the experience exceptional.

Console lavatories will more often than not have two front legs and the rear of the sink will be mounted to the wall. Again much like pedestal sinks they are seen in more traditional settings made from china with the legs possibly made of metal or wood. You can find more modern looking consoles.

If you want a more traditional vanity there are many bowl and counter top choices to choose from. You can choose to do a drop in sink that literally drops in to the countertop from above.

There are many materials to choose from the most popular is still china or porcelain, but newer looks have come in metals (copper and stainless steel), natural and man made stone.

The other option is an undermount sink. These sinks attach under the counter top with clips to lessen the appearance of the bowl.

Vessel sinks have made an increase in popularity in the last few years. They can give a bathroom or powder room a unique look. Many vessel sinks can be a true work of art when made of any number of materials including natural stone, glass, and china.

Today's bathroom faucets are fast becoming one of the nicest ways to finish off your bathroom vanity or bathtub. The technology of today's bathroom sink faucets allows you more control of the water and give you more improve reliability. Some of these faucets will allow you to preset the temperature of the water to help in the prevention of scalding or purchase one that comes with an anti-scald feature.

 

When purchasing bathroom faucets you should inquire about the materials quality especially in the faucets and valves. Solid brass is your best choice but a good brass base metal is great for corrosion resistance. You may find a cheap bathroom faucet but the savings won't be worth it in the lifespan of the faucet. The less expensive valve compression faucet is have a stem that goes up and down to close and reopen the water valve. Because of this movement, the washer that it's on the base of this stem wears and will eventually make the bathroom faucet leak. For a better faucet tab there is a few good new models that have washer less valves. They're available with ceramic discs and cartridges and are the most popular bathroom sink faucets. This type of bathroom faucet will give you a longer life because they are not prone to leak like the compression valve faucet

Different looks for bathroom sink faucets

Not just the faucet internals are important the looks and the style type are very important when it comes to the bathroom faucet. There is an abundance to choose from like contemporary chic to some beautiful reproduction designs. The handles can be everything from different levers to wrist blades even single lever versions that were used in kitchens to cross handles and knobs.

The most attractive feature of a bathroom sink faucet is the finish which manufacturers have given you many to choose from. Chrome is still very popular as a choice. If you're looking for a less maintenance finish a brushed nickel faucet would more care free compared to a polished version because it's less prone to water stains. A brass bathroom faucet is as popular as the chrome and the same applies in a polished form for upkeep. When researching the bathroom faucets you should inquire about improved coatings on the high-end faucet models which allow them to be scratch, spot and water resistant. Some of the metal finishes that faucets come in our nickel, copper and pewter which are in the most popular finishes and available in brushed, polished and matte finishes. You'll see matte black bathroom faucets in design centers along with enamel and different porcelain finishes. Whatever style of bathroom sink faucet you are looking for you will be able to find a manufacturer that has the right faucet for your bathroom decor.

Bathroom faucet ideas and resources

When planning your bathroom sink faucet design make sure to coordinate your bathroom vanity sinks fittings with the bathtub and shower and all other hardware you have in the bathroom like your grab bars, towel racks and handles and knobs on the bathroom vanity cabinet. You can find complete bath sets or you can mix and match as long as you stay with the same kind of hardware style so everything will coordinate. We have the best resources and reviews to help you in the planning of your bathroom sink faucets.

Medicine Cabinets

Thermostatic Shower Controls Put the Power at Your Fingertips!

Today, medicine cabinets are highly functional products - yes, they now have fog-proof mirrors - that are as much a statement about the bathroom as are vanities or bathtubs. Gone are the days when the only derivation from the typical metal medicine cabinet was one with three plain doors wrapped in chrome trim instead of one. In fact, medicine cabinets reflect, and sometimes even determine, the style of the bathroom as much as any furniture or artwork might.

Some are so unique and contemporary they look more of wall sculptures than tools for organizing toiletries. When designing a bathroom, you can choose a medicine cabinet that stands out in the same way a piece of art does. With that in mind, you do not always put the cabinet in its traditional place above the sink. For instance, it is sometimes more eye-catching to hang a modern, stainless steel medicine cabinet favorite above the toilet.

Showers can make the experience exceptional.

Just as a stainless steel cabinet will bring cohesion to a modern bathroom, a cabinet with a mahogany or antique gold frame will finish off a bathroom that desires a Victorian look. And that's the beauty of medicine cabinets these days: There are hundreds of styles, sizes and even shapes - from oval to rectangular - to discover.

The functionality of a medicine cabinet has also evolved. They've become just about anything but a cabinet for medicine, they are more like pieces of furniture. Some people even put them in their bars to hold glassware

Built-in electrical outlets are also popular for those who want to store their hairdryer or electric razor in the cabinet, you can appreciate having your bathroom appliances within easy reach, especially when you are in a hurry to get out the door in the morning.

Built-in medicine cabinets with at least 6 inches of depth and built-in electrical outlets allow my clients to store grooming appliances and toiletries at eye-level and give greater design flexibility with the sink area. Customers are not locked into the traditional bath vanity cabinet-counter-sink set-up, w here access to basic items requires bending, and blow dryers and tooth brushes are often left out, creating visual clutter.

During your bathroom remodeling project, you will want to find the perfect toilet to fit your families' needs. You may ask yourself, "Is there really that much to think about when choosing a toilet for my new bathroom?" The answer is yes. When it comes down to selecting your toilet, you will want to consider the size, comfort, height, style, and how well it functions.

You may find elongated toilet bowls to be much more comfortable; however, if you have a smaller bathroom, you may want to consider purchasing a round bowl in order to save space. Elongated toilet bowls measure up to 31" from the wall, whereas round bowls measure at 28". Comfort is also an important factor when choosing a toilet for your newly remodeled bathroom. Many manufacturers offer toilets that measure a few inches taller than standard 14" fixtures. The taller people in your family will appreciate a taller throne when they need to use the toilet. However, if you live in a home of shorter people, taller toilets may not be the best option. Consider all residents before making this important decision.

You must also think about the style that is best for you. The two-piece toilet, in which the tank bolts on top of the toilet bowl, is generally less expensive than the one-piece model. The one-piece toilet, which is a combined tank and bowl in one fixture, may cost more (around $200 more) but are easier to clean. This is due to the fact that they have no seam. Wall-mounted toilets are great because cleaning underneath the toilet is a breeze. While they are more expensive to install, it is definitely something worth researching.

Also, remember to consider the type of toilet you use. Gravity flush toilets are the most popular type of toilets because they use the water weight to generate flushing pressure, and thus save electricity. This pressure forces everything from the tank into the bowl and through the S-shaped trap way. A siphoning action then completes the flush.

Improved design results in many excellent performing fixtures which create little or no noise and require little maintenance. Pressure-assisted toilets tend to be louder and more expensive than gravity toilets, but they do have a reputation for great performance. These toilets have a vessel in the tank that forces water into the bowl quickly when flushed, reducing the chance for clogs.

Vacuum-assisted toilets are very similar to gravity flush toilets. However, vacuum-assisted toilets create a vacuum to help pull waste through the bowl, whereas gravity- flush use the force of gravity alone. Dual-flush toilets have two buttons for flushing. One is for solid waste, and the other is for liquid waste. The liquid waste button uses less water than the solid waste button.

Water is the best way to clean just about anything. We use it to wash our bodies because it's effective, comfortable and leaves us feeling refreshed. In fact, it's hard to imagine washing without it. You certainly wouldn't use dry paper to clean your face or a dirty dish. Yet, when we go to the toilet we use dry paper to clean the most sensitive areas of our body. In truth, toilet paper is abrasive, unsanitary and just plain ineffective.

Bidets and Washlet seats change all that. As you sit in comfort on the heated seat, warm water provides a gentle and soothing cleansing, leaving you feeling shower fresh at the push of a button. And its hygienic benefits can be enjoyed by anyone: male or female, from children to the elderly.

The various settings on them can be adjusted to suit your personal needs. Regardless of your circumstances, the ease, comfort, and hygienic qualities they will play an integral part in promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Eco-friendly: The Bidet or Washlet seats reduce toilet paper consumption 50 - 100%

Over 100,000,000 rolls of toilet paper are consumed every day throughout the world. The United States alone uses over 3.2 million tons per year. In fact, 54 million trees are cut down every year just to produce toilet paper for the US market. In addition, the production process itself is very destructive. Each roll produced uses:

  • 1.5 pounds of wood
  • 37 gallons of water
  • 1.3 KWH of electricity
  • Harmful chlorine, sulfur, and calcium carbonate

Having a bidet or washlet seat in your home will reduce toilet paper consumption from 50 - 100% via the effective cleansing of the warm water wash and optional warm air dryer. In addition, they only use an average 5-7 cents of electricity per day - even less when the power saving feature is activated. They support both a green lifestyle and a luxurious bathroom experience. Who says you can't have it all?

Showers can make the experience exceptional. Any bidet that is not manual and all washlet seats must be plugged into a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet. The GFCI outlet is generally required in bathrooms and near sources of water. Users typically have an outlet within three feet of the toilet fixture; though running an extension cord is perfectly acceptable as well.
