3 Upgrades Your Bathroom Remodeler Should Include

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

Remodeling the bathroom is the perfect time to add those little touches that make a big difference day after day and year after year. A bathroom remodeler that’s up on the latest trends and technology can suggest things that you might not even occur to you. It’s the sign of a great remodeler! Here are 3 bathroom upgrade ideas from the Orange County’s premier bathroom remodeler, Inspired Remodels.

Recirculating Hot Water

How many times a day do you turn on the hot water at the shower, tub, or sink and watch gallons of cold water go down the drain while you wait for hot water to appear? Even if there isn’t a drought; that process wastes a lot of water.

But install a hot water recirculating system with your bathroom update or remodel and have hot water instantly! You will get hot water instantly to the new showers and sink, and you get the benefit of instant hot water at every hot water outlet in the house. This is one upgrade that saves water and save money. A hot water recirculating system can save up to 12,000 gallons of water in a home each year. Save up to 10% on your utility bill.

Some systems use a pump on your hot water supply to push water that has cooled to 98°F back into the tank to be warmed again. Others work on a pulse system of 150 seconds every 10 minutes to retain hot water at all faucets. The latest systems monitor your hot water usage for one week and then adjust your hot water output to match the days and hours it is needed most. Now if they could just get one smart enough to clean the shower!

Recirculating hot water systems can be installed on any type of plumbing and are sized based on the size of the supply and return lines. If your bathroom remodeler knows his plumbing, a hot water recirculating system is no sweat.

Personalized Shower Heads

Your shower head should reflect your personal preference in the shower. If you like long luxuriating 30 minute showers but feel guilty about the water you use, then talk to your bathroom remodeler about a low flow or water efficient shower head. These shower heads reduce the amount of water flowing through the head. So that 30 minute shower will use a fraction of the water. Low flow and water efficient shower heads aren’t for everyone however. Most use larger drops of water to simulate the feel of a higher pressure head.

If pressure is important to you, then ask the bathroom remodeler about a high pressure shower head. They are perfect if the water pressure in the bathroom is low or if you like the massaging feel of a shower. These work by either compressing the water through fewer holes or using a chamber to increase pressure.

An experienced bathroom remodeler knows that not all shower heads are created equal. If your contractor doesn’t talk to you about shower heads, you should be talking to another contractor.

Fog Free Mirrors

Speaking of showers, ever get out of that steamy shower only to be faced with a steamy mirror? Not the ideal situation if you need to dry your hair, shave, or apply make-up. You grab a towel to clear the fog and end up with a streaked mess.

Installing mirror defoggers at the time of the remodel is easy, is not expensive, and is one of those little touches that does make a big difference. Most models work by gently warming the glass in the mirror so that condensation does not form. It is the sample principle that your car’s defroster uses to keep your windshield and rear window clear. Mirror defoggers can even be wired into the light switches or exhaust fan switches to turn on without effort.

Great Granite Batman! What an Awesome Shower Remodel

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

Batman could always count on Robin to come up with a great exclamation that summed up the situation perfectly. If the dynamic duo checked out bathroom and shower remodel jobs completed by Inspired Remodels; “Great granite” would just be start of Robin’s comments.

Granite is Just the Beginning

Granite is very popular for bathroom and shower remodel jobs. Granite is a very hard natural material. Its density makes it less susceptible to moisture absorption than travertine and it will not be damaged by citrus-based cleaners like some other softer stone.

Just because granite is not completely impervious to moisture doesn’t mean using granite will cause your shower to leak. When properly installed, your granite shower should be as waterproof as one finished in ceramic tile or other material. Proper installation is the key.

An experienced remodeling company knows that a watertight shower begins with the right substrate. Regular drywall will absorb moisture and lead to problems with leaks and mold. Inspired Remodels will use waterproof backerboard for shower walls that perform as well as they look. The shower pan will be watertight and done right as well. These are the elements that provide the structure for your waterproof granite installation.

The shower pan must be watertight as well.

Built Ins With Flair

Let’s face it; if you’re going to take a shower you are going to need some soap and shampoo. People have struggled with years for ways to keep these bath essentials close at hand without creating an eyesore or haven for mold and mildew to grow.

Inspired Remodels can provide built-in storage as part of your shower remodel. Just take a look at how these recessed shelves provide a place to store personal care products and keep them out of the way of the shower spray.

Ladies; don’t you wish you could sit and shave your legs in the shower? Why not include a built in seat when you remodel your shower? Safely sit while you wait for conditioner to work its magic or you shave your legs. Relax and let the steam envelope you. A built-in seat is not only convenient it also reduces the risk of slipping.

Don’t you wish you had thought of that?

A Great Shower Remodel Begins with Great Design

A great bathroom or shower remodel is like any other remodel: it all begins with a great design.

Work with the talented designers at Inspired Remodels to transform your ideas into a final project you will love. They know good design is all about the details. We will work with you to maximize your bathroom and shower space and your remodel budget.

“Holy Hot Shower” says Robin. Call (949) 716-1938 and get started today.
