Because we spend so much time in our bathrooms daily, the bathroom you pick must be pleasant, well-designed, and, most importantly, safe. If you want to make your bathroom secure and safe, here are a few ideas to lessen the risk of injuries while yet maintaining a stylish bathroom.
Leaks from the Tackle
Falls and slips can occur very quickly in the bathroom. Reduce the chance of this happening by purchasing mats that are non-slip for your floors. If you’re remodeling the flooring, install non-slip. Notice a continuous pool of water on your flooring. It could be an issue with your plumbing, so contact Ottawa Plumbing Services to make an inspection.
Avoid Any Scalding Incident
Based on the kind of faucet you own and how delicate your handles can be, scalding accidents frequently occur, in particular among older people and children. To prevent such incidents, ask Ottawa Plumbing Services to install an anti-scalding system that controls the water temperature that flows from the faucets. Third-degree burns can occur in just 20 seconds, and installing this device will help avoid nasty accidents.
Make Sure You Invest in a New Sink and Tub
The style of your sink and bathtub could also play a part in the security in your bathroom. Suppose you have kids or have problems with mobility. In that case, you might prefer an elongated bathtub unit or one that doesn’t feature sharp corners to minimize the chance of injury if there are accidents or slips in the bathroom. Install anti-slip strips or mats on the bathtub floor.
Make It a Wet Room
Another way to ensure your bathroom is safe is to open it to turn it into a wet space entirely. A layer of glass separates each shower, and you aren’t required to climb in to and out of the bathtub making it safer. They are popular with older people because they’re easy to access, especially those in wheelchairs or who have limited mobility.
Install Grab Bars
Grab bars are among the easiest methods to secure your bathroom, particularly if you have older people in your house or require some assistance while in the bathroom.
