Style Selection

Firstly, let us start from the style for your bathroom renovation preparation. People prefer to search for bathroom finishing pictures on the internet before making design, and the pictures which whatever from Houzz, Pinterest and Google will make you dizzy, because most of the designs in those pictures are worked out by professional designers and not applied for Toronto, although these designs are stunning. Why Toronto standards need to be highlighted? The reason is that construction materials in different cities have a huge variance, and these materials will determine the style of your bathroom. For example, you may ask a handyman to evaluate the work and price, when you find out a pleasant design, but the result may be not as pleasant as you thought, he may tell you that this design is impossible to be carried out because you cannot find a store which sales the same materials in Toronto. Therefore, you cannot duplicate the design directly, to find out the design which matches for your city is the good start for a successful design. Please let me clarify the bathroom renovation styles in Toronto.

In recent years, more and more people choose modern as their bathroom designs, and the presentation of a construction material which are suitable for modern style have a smooth surface with a linear edge, modern style tiles are made of proceline normally, and the size of tile is increased significantly, the commom size is one foot by two feet or two feet by two feet. This kind of tile looks elegant with strong modern sense, and the most important reason is that big tiles are easy to be cleaned. Nowadays, people use bathroom more often than before, many people like to take shower for many times in one day, so the water are keep accumulating in the surface of tiles, and this will lead mold to be growing fast on the surface. You do not need to spend that much time on housework if the tiles are easy to be cleaned. Another merit of this type of tile is price competition, they are much cheaper than classic one. We will talk about this style next.

The second major style is classic. Normally, the construction materials for classic style tiles are natural marbles, and the material which is used for cabinet is solid wood with complicated and delightful patterns and textures. However, the price of classic material is relatively high. The size of the marble tile is smaller than the size of proceline one, so there will be more design options when you are working on the layout. Although marble tiles have tactile appeal, daily maintenance is necessary, getting out of being scrapped and dyed. You may need to spend more time on tiles cleaning if you choose marble tiles, especially, the small pieces. To clean the joins of tiles will be a heavy workload, unless you get a housekeeper to take care of it. However, the good news is that marble tiles have a longer duration compared to proceline if you maintain them well. Moreover, the natural texture and pattern of marble tiles looks much better than artificial one.

There are many other renovation designs, such as, European, Mediterranean or Gothic, they are remarkable styles as well, however, possibility of being successful on your project will be based on the availability of the construction material in Canadian market. To consult with Queensbath will help you a lot for your bathroom renovation preparation.

Cabinet selection

how do you choose a vanity that not only looks pretty, but fulfils all your needs too? Do you follow the trends or build something unique for your bathroom? We can help you find the perfect vanity for your bathroom renovation preparation that will make it your new favorite place in the house.

1. Mounting Option

One of the first things you need to consider for your vanity is how is it going to be mounted in the bathroom space. You have two main options here, you can either have it wall mounted, or you can also keep it standing freely on the floor.

The decision between these two types of mountings largely depends on the size of your bathroom as well as the style and functionality you would want to follow.

If you choose a wall hung vanity, you have a greater flexibility over the height you would want it to be. They can also make the bathroom feel more spacious. And it is obviously much easier to clean bathrooms that have wall hung vanities.

However, in case of wall mounted vanities, the installation phase is a little trickier as the wall has to be prepped before the framing to phase. In comparison, free-standing vanities are not only less costly to install, they also offer more storage space and are sturdier.

In conclusion, if you want more storage, live in a house with young children or want a traditional-style unit, we would recommend free-standing vanities. On the other hand, if you have a small bathroom and are looking to make it more airy and give it a more contemporary look, then go for wall mounted vanities.

2. Sink

The next step you need to make is to decide the type of sink that would go well with your vanity. The following are the options you have regarding sinks in your bathroom vanity:

Self Rimming Sinks

These are also known as drop-in sinks. And as the name suggests, they can simply be installed over the countertop. They come with prepared rims that can easily be placed to sit over the countertop. This quality of the self rimming sinks makes them the easiest to install and replace.

Undermount Sinks

Undermount sinks are installed from beneath the solid surface of the countertop. These sinks give a polished look to the bathrooms but are more challenging to install and replace. Undermount sinks also have to be custom built so that they fill into the vanity’s countertop.

Vessel Sinks

Vessel sinks remain outside the vanity and are made to sit conveniently on the countertop. They come in various different materials including ceramic, glass and stone.

Vanity Bathroom Tops

These are one-piece countertops built out of materials such as granite, marble, tile or wood. They cover the entire of the vanity’s top surface. Knowing the exact dimensions of your vanity cabinet is important to ensure that the top fits properly.

3. Materials

Since vanities are to be placed in bathrooms, the material used in them should be able to withstand humidity and wetness. Veneered wood, decorative laminates and thermo foil are materials that prove to work well in wet environments and can provide sturdy support to the vanity and the items you keep on it. As for the vanity tops, you should look for materials that are durable, can sustain the water that falls on them and are easy to clean off.

When searching for durable vanity cabinets, you should try to get the following materials:

Solid oak wood
Rubber wood
Solid Plywood
MDF vanities

lighting

1 Ceiling: people prefer to use pot lights as their bathroom ceiling lights in Toronto. The layout of pot lights normally will be based on your shape and area of your bathroom. For example, four pot lights in a three-piece bathroom, and six to eight pot lights for a master bathroom. We can install a small ceiling lamp above your freestanding tub.

2 Wall: For classic bathroom design, only one wall light is above the mirror. For modern bathroom design, we will install one wall light on each side of your mirror, if you have a double sink in the bathroom, you may like to hang two mirrors, and we will install two wall lights on both sides and one in the middle.

3 Under cabinet: to install a row of LED under the wall mounted cabinet is a good idea, it will improve your design into modern sense, and LED can be used as nightlight, you do not need to open the ceiling lamp when you go to bathroom at night. LED can be installed under the mirror cabinet.
