Spa And Ventilation

Updating bathroom suites to make the spaces more spa-like could be a huge undertaking for some, but one publication has provided some tips to help ease the process along.

According to Yourhome.Ca, part of the Toronto Star, it is important to bear in mind the inspiration and vision for a bathroom suite, as this will help to stay focused on the end result.

It suggested clipping pictures of rooms from websites and decor magazines in the bathrooms sector to ensure the ideal is not strayed away from.

Other factors to consider include assessing where to place bathroom furniture, shower cubicle size, the style of the bath, lighting and storage and whether all desired items will fit into the space.

"Framed mirrors and lighting can dramatically change the look of any bathroom, as lighting affects the colour and feel," it was observed, which could be an important point to bear in mind when aiming for a spa bath bathroom suite.

Meanwhile, industry expert Jill Abelman told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that incorporating articles such as new towels and big fragrant bars of soap can make homeowners feel pampered.

When considering installing whirlpool baths into a bathroom, it might be an idea to seek an expert opinion, as one professional has said ventilation systems may not be equipped to handle increased humidity.

Writing for Homes-Extra, Mark Salerno – district manager at the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation – explained that it is import to ensure ventilation is adequate so as to prevent indoor air quality problems, mould growth and damage to the property finishes or structure.

"When planning for a renovation, think of your house as an interactive system made up of many components," he suggested, referring to heating and air conditioning as well.

Mr Salerno further noted that such projects should also incorporate ways in which the residence can be made healthier, taking into account ideas such as energy efficiency, environmental responsibility and affordability.

His advice follows that of the Liverpool Echo, which recommended ensuring bathroom suites are clean, tidy and inviting, with necessary updates made, when trying to sell a property.
