A Lovely, Updated Bathroom For A Lovelier Home


A Lovely, Updated Bathroom

As our homes get older, they require upkeep and maintenance. As years go by, damage and wear and tear take its toll on the most heavily trafficked areas of your house.

Usually the two rooms in the house that require beautification are the kitchen and bathroom. Rooms such as bedrooms and living rooms can be updated however; kitchens and bathrooms often require more than just a new coat of paint.

Over the years, the fixtures and appliances break down and become outdated. This is when you need a competent, creative renovation company.

In The Home Improvement Centre, remodelling is as simple as phoning one of our representatives or visiting our Toronto decor centre showroom.

Let us take a look at bathroom renovation.

Bathroom renovation can consist of new flooring, new toilet, new sink, updated bathtub or shower and paint.

Toilets have gone through almost a reinvention over the last few decades. The main goal has been to reduce the amount of water that is used for each flush. Most governments have passed laws that require all new toilets to be of the low flow variety. The other consideration is the characteristic of colour.

Back in the 1960s the popular hues were yellow, pink, green, blue, and turquoise. In the 1970s gold and avocado showed up in bathrooms as well as kitchens. These days, most fixtures are white, and that is a good thing. White goes with everything and never goes out of style!

Luckily for you, we carry the quality line of Gerber toilets which are WaterSense certified and come in vitreous china white.

Many bathrooms have ceramic tile on the floors and the walls. While tile is popular, there are other new alternatives that provide style, durability and added comfort over ceramic tiles.

Armstrong recently introduced 2 new products called Luxury Vinyl Tiles and Luxe Vinyl Planks. Both are moisture resistant, easy to apply, softer to the step and warm to the touch… for those late night barefoot visits.

Of course we do carry a large variety of floor and wall porcelain, ceramic and natural stone tile from Daltile.

Daltile is the largest ceramic tile manufacturer in the U.S. and one of the largest tile manufacturers in the world employing over 10,000 associates.

When it comes to your shower, there is nothing better than having the right amount of water flow come out at the right temperature.

With Cabano bath and shower products, you can have your dream shower or bath knowing that your components were built to last and function for a very long time.

The complete Cabano line is Made in Italy and has the quality and luxury you expect in a shower or product.

Now that you have your shower running, you need the proper shower glass door to ensure your water doesn't splash all over your brand new floor!

Fleurco bath and shower glass doors continually sets itself apart from the competition with its design and latest technology.

Fleurco specializes in the design, manufacturing and distribution of a full range of bath and shower glass doors and rely on the latest technology to offer top quality products.
