Your Ultimate Guide to the Do’s and Don’ts of Bathroom Renovations

A full-scale bathroom renovation can be a daunting prospect. From the flooring, to finding the most popular and trending designs, it can feel like a lot to take on. No matter how desperately it may be needed, it can easily be a project that is procrastinated for months, or even years.

Thankfully, you’ve come to the right place! If you’re reading this, chances are you are in the midst of planning a facelift for your bathroom or already knee-deep in the project. If you are willing to spend your valuable time and money, then you deserve to know all of the tips and tricks to have it done right, and to have it looking absolutely stunning when it’s finished! 

 

DO: Pay Keen Attention to Tile Design

Designing Your Room with Tile

While scouring Google for popular bathroom  tile trends is a good starting point, it may leave you with a generic feel. It can be tempting to follow the crowd, opting for  choices like white subway tiles or grey marble-look tiles. While these are tried and true styles, and are certainly  not a wrong way to go, it would be fun to infuse some personality by adding a pop of colour and explore unique and trending tile ideas. 

For inspiration, you can dive into our latest blog on 2024 tile trends

We also highly recommend enlisting some help in the design process. We are proud to offer FREE Design Consultation services to our customers. Our in-house, professional design team is more than happy to take a personalised approach to your bathroom renovation, and to help you choose the tile and colours that best suit the space.

DON'T: Use Cheap, Non-Durable Flooring

Porcelain vs LVT

Luxury-Vinyl products (LVT) might seem like a cheap, labour-friendly substitute to others , but they fall short in durability, especially in a bathroom setting. They aren't truly waterproof and are prone to scratches from pets and other everyday traffic.

For a truly long-lasting product that has functional and aesthetic benefits, we always recommend using tile. If you are set on the wood-look, our range of wood-look porcelain tiles gives you the authentic wood aesthetic, and the durability that LVT just cannot offer. Find out more about our eco-wood tiles here.

Explore the pitfalls of LVT products in our comprehensive information package: Thinking About Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)? Think Again

 

DO: Heat Your Floors

Heated Floors

Consider heated flooring beneath your tiles for a touch of luxury. Whether it be in your ensuite, basement, or main floor, the comfort of a warm and cozy floor is unparalleled, especially during the chilly winter months. With the convenience of linking thermostat settings to your phone, you can ensure that a nice and warm floor will always be waiting for you when you arrive home.

DON'T: Hire Just Anyone to Do the Job

Hire a Tile Installer

Who you hire to do your renovations can make all the difference. We always stress to our customers the importance of making sure your tile-setter/contractor is reputable, has references, and has all of the necessary documentation prior to hiring them.

We are happy to offer an extensive list of recommended contractors and tile-setters, who have experience in the Guelph, Rockwood, Fergus, and surrounding areas. View our contractor list
