Modern Plumbing Solutions To Consider

The bathroom is one of the most important spaces in your home, especially when it comes to resale value. Modern bathrooms are considered luxurious and desirable, which translates to higher prices in the real estate market.

Thankfully, there are many plumbing solutions available that can help transform your bathroom into a luxurious space. Here are a couple of plumbing fixtures you can install if you want to redefine your bathroom space.

Smart Showers

Smart showers are a transformative addition to any bathroom and using modern technology can elevate your daily routine. Much like a regular shower system, smart showers comprise a showerhead, a water mixer, and a controller.

However, the difference lies in the advanced features they offer. Smart showers come equipped with programmable settings that allow you to control water flow, temperature, steam, and lighting, all with the touch of a button.

With a smart shower, you can even set your preferred temperature and shower duration ahead of time, providing the ultimate personalized experience. The integration of these features means you can turn your shower into a luxury spa experience every day, right in the comfort of your own home.

However, installing a smart shower is a job for a skilled plumber, as it involves intricate processes and an understanding of technology. Initially, the plumber removes the existing shower system, ensuring the in-wall plumbing is exposed and accessible. They'll then install the new smart shower valve, which controls the temperature and flow of water, in place of the old valve.

After this, the plumber installs and configures the in-wall controller. This controller allows you to adjust the water temperature and pressure from the convenience of your shower stall. It then connects to the digital, voice-activated control panel mounted outside the bathroom via your home's electrical system.

Lastly, they'll install the smart showerhead and connect the system to your home's Wi-Fi network. This allows for convenient control through a smartphone app or voice command to get the most out of your smart shower.

Remember that while installation varies slightly across different brands, it's best to hire a professional to ensure a seamless and efficient installation process. This way, you'll have a bathroom that looks good and functions well.

Wall Mounted Toilets

Wall-mounted toilets are a minimalist and modern addition to any bathroom, offering a sleek and streamlined aesthetic to your space. Unlike traditional floor-mounted toilets, these fixtures are mounted on the wall, with the tank concealed within the wall itself, which saves space. The minimalistic design enhances your bathroom's visual appeal and makes cleaning easier, as you can easily access the floor underneath.

Installing a wall-mounted toilet is a complex task that requires tremendous expertise. Initially, a professional plumber will install a metal frame in the wall where they'll mount the toilet. This frame is designed to support the weight of the toilet as well as the concealed tank and flushing system.

Once the plumber securely installs the frame, they'll fit the concealed tank and flushing system. They'll then close up the wall, leaving only the flush plate visible. The good news is that you can customize the height of the wall-mounted toilet during installation to ensure comfort and accessibility for all users.

After this, the plumber will install the toilet bowl onto the frame and connect it to the waste pipe. The last step involves fitting the toilet seat and connecting the water supply. This is a highly technical process and requires precision for a proper installation.
