NYC Bathroom Remodeling and Safety

Posted on March 15, 2019

Safety should be one of your primary concerns when it comes to NYC bathroom remodeling. After all, It is a well-known fact that majority of accidents occur within the bathroom. Slipping in the bathroom is just as dangerous as slipping inside the kitchen as there are a lot of objects in that room that you would never want to make contact with your head at dangerous speeds.

In the past, there were very few safety solutions for the bathroom. Today, there is a wide abundance of non-slip mats, anti-slippage floor coating, and other such safety innovations that you would have little excuse to not make your bathroom a safer space.

There are a number of different things you can do prevent accidents in your bathroom. Take a look at state of your tiles in the bathroom. Check the condition of the bath mats and every other area within your bathroom that is normally exposed to either soap or water. Here are a few things you should consider before making NYC bathroom remodeling plans.

  • Older tiles can become extra slippery if there is mold. Be sure to do proper maintenance every so often.
  • Bathroom mats can sometimes stick to their spot like glue if not cleaned or moved every so often. While it may seem like it would make your bathroom safer, it will actually cause moisture to gather underneath them which can cause damage to the floor beneath.
  • Be wary of any kind of smell resonating in your bathroom. Strange smells in the bathroom usually means mold.
  • Install non-slip surfaces around your bathroom. If you don’t feel like ripping out the floors then treat them with solutions that can waterproof them and provide you with more traction when you walk over them.
