Kitchen and Bathroom

Of all the rooms in a house, the kitchen and bath are the most used and the first to show their age. Not surprisingly, these rooms are also at the top of the list when it comes to home improvements.

If we are going to talk about renovations, we might as well talk about the data. Kitchen and bath renovations are the most common type of renovations, and for good reason. If your kitchen and/or bath is old, it not only affects how you feel about that one room, it also effects how you feel about your entire home. We plan to beef up our content to cover both of these, and in the process, cover what you should be spending your money on, and where you can save.

Flooring for wet rooms

Flooring in bathrooms and kitchens is a more critical consideration because of the moisture in those environments. Of course, there are areas in the house where the flooring can be more or less anything, but not in bathrooms. As with other types of flooring, waterproof floors are available. Luxury vinyl floors are comfortable and can be designed to resemble various materials. Porcelain tile is a traditional option, and a hard tile can be more comfortable to walk on if there is a heating system below it. It is better to use a water-resistant laminate in a kitchen, but it is not a good option for a bathroom. If a laminate is going to come in contact with water, it is better to use a different flooring material.

The type of material being used has a large effect on cost. LVT flooring is typically between £45 and £100 per square metre to install. Porcelain tile is more expensive, between £55 and £130 per square metre. When considering your budget for your renovation, consider the cost of the flooring along with other costs. Porcelain tile is an expensive material to use, and using it on floors increases the overall cost of a renovation.

What is to come

We will be providing more detailed information on designing kitchens and bathrooms with various constraints. For now, it is important to consider the floor when designing kitchens and bathrooms, since other elements are chosen in relation to the flooring. Floor coverings are not easily changed once they are installed.
