Home Extension FAQ's
Choosing The Right Sanitaryware
How to choose the right sanitaryware for bathroom installation?
Apart from the toilet and basin which are both pretty much essential for a bathroom, you need to decide on a shower enclosure or a bath. Some may even choose to go with both.
Over-bath shower vs. separate shower enclosure:
For people with small bathroom space, an over-bath shower is the obvious choice. Shower baths with a shaped end gives you better standing space. Make sure you go with a non-slip coating for baths to prevent accidents.
If you’re going with a standalone shower enclosure however, make sure the size is atleast 760mm x 760mm with an additional 610mm clearance. Sliding doors are a good way to eliminate the swing out space especially for small bathrooms.
What is a standard bath size for bathroom installation?
The standard size for baths in most family bathrooms is 1700mm x 700mm. However, there’s no rule saying that it can’t be bigger or smaller than that. If you have a large bathroom space, a larger bath is certainly a valid option.
Choosing the basin for bathroom installation
As a rule of thumb – the bigger the basin, the better it is. So go for the largest size you can fit on the counter. To save some floorspace, you could also go for wall-hung or semi-pedestal basins instead of installing a counter. However, full-pedestal basins are cheaper and have a traditional look that some people might prefer.
Bespoke Bathroom Ideas
Geometric tiles
Nobody said the bathroom tiles have to be perfect squares. Go with geometric tiles on the walls and floors to give your bathroom a luxurious touch. Complement the bold tile design with a minimalist sink or tub to create a stunning, eye-catching contrast.
Timber cladding wall tiles
Wall tiles are not just for protection; they can also elevate your bathroom’s aesthetics when used smartly. Consider timber cladding the wall tiles to give your bathroom a rustic, coastal feel.
Smart Lighting
For bathrooms without a conventional window, lighting properly can significantly boost its appeal. Using a skylight, roof lantern, or even installing a roof window is a great way to add some ambiance to the bathroom.
Cosy and Zen-like
One of the biggest perks of getting your bathroom installed by the pros is you can go wild with the design. Bathrooms don’t have to be all about the function. Adding some mood lighting or even a small fireplace can make things cosy while you take care of “business”.
For Small Bathroom
Small bathrooms don’t have to be boring. Using bold, exciting patterns for the tiles and using contrasting colour combinations can give a small bathroom a luxurious touch.
How Long Will It Take To Renovate My Bathroom?
Bathroom installation project duration
Bathroom installation projects involve a lot of work. With tiling the floor, fixing up the electrics, and setting up the plumbing, it can easily take a couple of days to finish it. Academy Concepts excel at working efficiently to get your new bathroom in working order as soon as possible.
In most cases, a project takes no longer than 7-10 days. However, complicated installations may take longer.
