Bathroom Remodeling

What is involved with remodeling bathroom?
We got more than we bargined for when we wanted to replace our tub. The floor was rotted and moldy and they ended up pulling out the tub, toilet and sink and most of the floor. I wonder what kind of time frame and cost are we looking at to have this fixed and remodeled?
After you gut the bathroom, 1st make sure you use the green board (mildew resistant) in the shower area. It will cost you anywhere from $2K to $5K for the entire bathroom. Another thing to look into is recycled glass tile. It is extremely popular now, looks awesome, recycled, and a lot of times less expensive than regular tile.

Bathroom remodeling can be an overwhelming task. Whether its incidental or a planned remodeling job taking the time to plan and design your bathroom will not only make the final product more enjoyable but it can vastly improve the value of your home. Bathroom design doesn’t mean you have to go hire a costly interior designer. Companies such as My-Bath.com offer free bathroom planning conciliations.

The most important part of you bathroom is the fixtures within it. What ever fixtures you choose you must make sure that they compliment each other.

These are great products for people who want modern luxury with the more classic traditional look.
Tile work has been a staple in bathroom remodeling for years. People dread bathroom remodeling because of the high cost of tile work. There are several new products on the market that can save the users from the hassle of tiling an entire bathroom. Modular steam showers are becoming very popular because of their features they have also become popular with bathroom remodelers because they eliminate so much tile work. These unit come are made of either high end acrylic or tempered glass. Steam showers come in many shapes and sizes making them perfect for both large and small bathroom remodeling projects. They are also easier to install then most people would believe. The typical steam shower enclosure takes between 2 and 4 hours to assemble. Installing a steam shower in your home not only makes it more enjoyable for you and your family. It also increases the value of your home while adding appeal to potential buyers.
A great way to save time and money while remodeling your bathroom is using PEX plumbing instead of copper piping. Copper piping has become very expensive to use its also has become outdated. PEX costs about a tenth of the price of copper piping and can be installed ten times faster. PEX plumbing is flexible plastic water piping that uses snap on or crimped fittings. No longer will you have to use a blow torch when installing water lines. When remodeling an entire house water lines can be run in an hour or two saving not only time but money on materials.
A costly mistake that many remodelers make when remodeling bathrooms is using the wrong type of drywall. There a three basic types of drywall. There is the normal gypsum drywall that is commonly used in almost every room of the house; there is green board that is water resistant drywall which is commonly used in bathrooms and cement board which is like a waterproof drywall. Normal drywall should probably be avoided in the bathroom because it’s not meant to hold up in moist conditions. Green board is best suited for bathroom walls and around bathroom fixtures, while cement board should be used behind tile enclosures and surrounds. Using the correct materials ensures that your bathroom will last for years to come.
