The 3 Things You Should Upgrade In Your Bathroom

Posted on

If you're going to sell your home, the bathrooms are going to be closely inspected by potential buyers and appraisers. Bathrooms are vital rooms because they get a lot of usage, which can cause them to age much more quickly than most of the other rooms in a home. But, bathroom remodeling is a wise investment because you usually save money on the supplies, since the space is smaller, but you get a great return on your investment considering how important the bathrooms are when it comes to the selling value of a property. This article explains the three most important things to update in your bathroom with the help of a bathroom remodeling company.

The Paint

The paint is a very important thing update, even if it doesn't necessarily look that bad. Paint in a bathroom is not just color on the wall, it is also a protective layer. For instance, if you have drywall, the paint seals the pores and prevents serious water damage. If you let your bathroom paint become too faded, your drywall can be compromised. You may have to worry about mold and bacteria formation within the drywall pores, and not just the faded color.

The Faucets and Shower Heads

Updating your faucets and shower heads is a matter of style and water conservation. Modern water faucets and shower heads use less water and don't compromise on pressure. Water usage is measured in gallons per minute (gpm). You should always look for a product that has the Water Sense label because this means that it uses less than 2 gpm. Obviously, having new stainless steel faucets and shower heads around your bathroom looks amazing, especially if they all match.

The Floor

The floor is another vital component in your bathroom. Even if you have waterproof flooring material like stone, tile, linoleum, or vinyl, there is always a risk of water damage and mold. Over time, if your flooring is not kept up, water can seep into the cracks, between the grout lines, between the panels, along the side, and eventually get underneath the flooring material. This often results in serious mold problems that the homeowner isn't even aware of because it is not visible. So, you could have a flooring expert examine your current floor to see if there are any more problems. Obviously, also being able to completely update the style of your floor to modernize the space is the main reason that most homeowners will choose to invest in a new flooring product.

With these three significant upgrades, your bathrooms will be looking modern and working better.
