Mechanical systems that control temperature and humidity in the bathroom should stay mostly out of sight and out of mind, but you'll notice instantly when they are not working. If you live in Orem, choosing the right heating and cooling equipment for your shower and bath area will keep you comfortable no matter what the climate is and ensure your home will stay healthy. Moisture wasn't much of an issue when houses were drafty and under-insulated, but it can be an issue today due to improved building techniques that have resulted in houses that trap moisture and humidity. |
Regardless of what part of Utah you live in, the idea is to prevent warm, moisture-laden air from coming into contact with a cool surface inside a wall cavity and to give walls and ceilings that do get damp a means to try out. A combination of a vapor barrier on the walls and ventilating fans will keep moisture from being plugged up in the bathroom and will help keep out mold and rot. We can help with all your ventilation needs!

Most people who remodel their bathrooms do so for one of four reasons: They want more space; they want to modernize the look and feel or function of the room; they start to make a single change such as replacing a broken toilet, and then decide to make a more substantial alteration; or they have just grown tired of the way their bathroom looks and want a change for the sake of change itself. Whatever your reason may be for thinking about remodeling your bathroom, there is some specific information you ought to have in order to translate your ideas into reality in the best way possible.
Bathroom Tubs and Shower Shopping Guide - Available in Orem, Utah
There are a number of ways to create a shower unit in your newly remodeled bathroom. Combine it with a bathtub, install a self-contained shower unit, install a shower pan or install your own custom shower pan and walls, complete with tile. Self contained units have their own walls but must also be supported with structural walls - the advantage is that no tiling is required in this situation. Drain pans are generally included. Some have ceilings. Some have doors, others don't. All require non-abrasive cleaners. Fiberglass-reinforced plastic is more expensive than enameled tin or steel.
Standard tubs in bathrooms generally coe without finished ends (any home improvement store in the Orem area can locate this sort of bath tub) and only one finished side as a general rule. They are designed to slide between two end walls and against a back wall. Some also come with one finished end and may be called corner tubs. Other variations include oval interior shape, sloped backrest, handles in the sides, molded tub surround. If you are considering creating or remodeling a Victorian-style bathroom (a popular choice in Orem), the clawfoot tub is ideal. Some manufacturers make modern versions, and originals can still be found at salvage yards and sometimes at fixture refinishing companies in Orem. Be aware that the plumbing lines show and dirt will collect underneath this type of bathtub style. These tubs are made of cast iron.
In the case of a corner bathtub - the longest dimension of a corner tub is only 4 feet, as opposed to 5 feet on a standard tub. Because the tub itself is set at an angle, you can bathe without feeling cramped. Corner tubs are often made of enameled cast iron. Many manufacturers have discontinued this style, but it is still available in some places.
Molded platform tub - Molded tubs are made of fiberglass with either a gel-coat or an acrylic surface. The acrylic surface has a deeper, richer color. Shapes can vary from rectangular and circular to something as unique as a shamrock shape! These tubs are designed to be dropped into the floor of a bathroom or into an on-site waterproof box. Many are available with whirlpool jets.
What To Do Before Tiling Bathroom Countertops - A Homeowner's Guide
Check that the countertop assembly is sound. Be sure that the surface is level, smooth and square. Identify any problem areas and repair as needed. Specific countertops preparations depend on the type of substrate used. As long as you are capable of disconnecting and reattaching supply lines, most countertop installations can be accomplished without having to hire a plumber.
However, if the sink or faucets need to be moved more than a couple of inches, professional help may be necessary. That's where we come in. Several tile makers and bathroom wall-covering manufacturers have joined forces to produce matching lines. If these don't suit, you can commission an artist to paint and fire accent tiles especially for your custom bathroom or kitchen. Or you can make your own. Tile blanks and special paints are readily available.
