What to consider when purchasing bathroom products

When it comes to the refurbishment of an existing bathroom or the designing of a brand-new bathroom, home owners are faced with a myriad of tasks, including the purchase of new bathroom products, which can be exciting but challenging. After all, what are the things that home owners should consider in their search for bathroom products to create an aesthetically-pleasing personal space for revitalisation?Here are some things for home owners to consider when purchasing bathroom products:

• Site Conditions Before the shopping begins, it is important for home owners to check the existing site conditions in their bathroom to prevent any unnecessary purchase of unsuitable products.Water pressure is a very important factor which determines the suitability of shower products. With a low water pressure in the bathroom, it is not recommended to install shower products with large shower faces – a big overhead shower would not perform at its best with a weak water pressure. Home owners facing low water pressure could also consider showerheads with smaller nozzles, to ensure the optimal performance of shower products.
• Space Constraints We all love spacious and luxurious bathrooms, especially if they are fitted with a large bathtub for a rejuvenating soak after a long day at work – however, in reality, this may be quite a challenge. Space-saving bathroom products do not necessarily mean compromising the showering experience in terms of design or technology. Smart space-saving bathroom products are available on the market, like the hansgrohe RainSelect, allowing home owners to embrace space constraints to create beautiful and minimalist bathroom solutions.
• Accessibility in the Bathroom With an increasing trend of different generations staying in the modern home, it is important that thought be given to the needs of the elderly and the young especially for the often-shared bathroom space to make it more accessible and safer for them.Safety on wet floors is an everyday concern for all bathroom users and the new clever Unica Comfort shower bars are multifunctional and can double as grab handles. They also blend harmoniously into any bathroom setting thanks to their understated, elegant look.
• Water-saving Home owners should also consider the water efficiency of the products to reduce unnecessary wastage of water, with frequency of water usage in their daily lives as well as the upcoming water price increase.Recognised as “a champion of the value of water”, Hansgrohe has been integrating sustainability holistically into its business, where it has been developing products which save both water and energy and is dedicated to ensuring sustainability in its businesses.Home owners can consider shower products which are more environmentally-friendly.
• Functionality Home owners are increasingly searching for shower products with great functionality for their bathrooms. They are becoming more discerning about the products they install in their bathrooms and are exploring innovative and smart technologies offered in the market for a more pleasurable showering experience.
• Design At the same time that home owners opt for functional shower products, they are increasingly considering those with great design in creating their bathroom space.Shower products with both design and functionality are not that difficult to find and need not be exclusively independent.
• Authenticity and Warranty of Bathroom Products Buying online can be easy and fuss-free; however, home owners must be careful and check that the websites are trusted and more importantly, that the products sold on these websites are authentic. A safer alternative would be to purchase directly from the websites of the manufacturers or their authorised dealers.Purchasing locally from manufacturers or their authorised dealers would mean that their bathroom products have received the required approval from local authorities.Being careful of where one purchases bathroom products is not only to ensure the authenticity of the products but also to enjoy the product warranty provided by manufacturers.
