A Vintage-Inspired Bathroom Remodel

April 22, 2015 | Bathroom Remodeling

 It can be exhausting to keep up with design trends that often seem to change overnight. Today’s doorless showers and minimalist fixtures could be obsolete tomorrow. Instead of giving yourself a headache trying to keep up with all the latest styles, why not go vintage with your next bathroom remodel? Even if your home was built in the past few years, it’s simple to give your bathroom a vintage feel. Here are a few things to think about as you plan your home improvement project. Claw-footed tub. The stand-alone, claw-footed tub is a classic element of a vintage bathroom remodel. If you can find an antique claw-footed tub in Indiana, so much the better—don’t worry if you can’t, though, because some companies also make reproduction tubs. Console sink.

Proper Bathroom Ventilation

April 22, 2015 | Bathroom Remodeling

Whether your bathroom is large and spacious or small and cozy, maintaining proper ventilation is essential in preventing moisture problems and keeping the air refreshed. The location and size of your bathroom will determine your ventilation options.  Because a half bath doesn’t contain a bathtub or shower, it doesn’t house as much moisture as a full bathroom would.  Still, an exhaust fan for venting odors and maintaining good air movement is beneficial.  Another example would be a basement bathroom.  It might not be a good candidate for a window that opens, but a short row of vented glass blocks could be a possibility. What is CFM? Ventilation Fans:  A CFM is a measurement of air flow, so you’ll see references to CFM’s on exhaust fan packaging.  The Home Ventilating Institute (HVI.org) recommends 1 CFM per square foot for bathrooms up to 100 square feet.  For example, if your bathroom is … Continued
