Tile: One of the most popular flooring options for bathrooms is ceramic
tile. It offers a clean and classic look that's also extremely durable,
waterproof, and stain-resistant. To avoid slip-and-fall accidents in the
bathroom, it's smart to choose a tile that is certified slip-resistant. On
the downside, tile is cold underfoot unless installed over a radiant floor
heating system, which is a smart investment in a bathroom where it's
important to keep bare feet warm.
Vinyl: One of the most budget-friendly floorings available, vinyl is easy
to clean, waterproof, and stain-proof. Choosing a top-quality sheet vinyl
(rather than peel-and-stick tiles) will reduce seams where water can
seep under. A felt or foam backing makes vinyl softer than wood or tile,
which is helpful in bathrooms where slip-and-fall accidents are common
on wet floors. Experienced DIYers can tackle vinyl installation, but

Interior paints come in flat/matte, satin/eggshell, and semiglossfinishes. For a bathroom, satin or semi-gloss paints are a good
choice.Semi-gloss paints, commonly used for trim, are generally the
easiest toclean, and formulated to stand up to stains.

Questions to Ask Yourself When Planning a Layout
Bathroom

Who will use the bathroom? For example, will two adults share
the space during the morning rush hour? Is the bathroom limited to
occasional guest usage? Are children who need assistance the
primary users? Will you bathe a pet in the tub?
How will it be used? What activities will be done in the various
parts of the room? For example, will you require a place to sit and
apply makeup? Will the room also house laundry facilities? What
activities can be done in a shared space, and which require a
private area? Do you prefer separate shower and bath areas? Would
you like a tub that accommodates more than one person? Do you
want the water closet in its own compartment?
Where will things go? What items need to be stored in the
bathroom, and where should they be located for easy access?
The answers to these questions can shed light on how much open
floor space is needed for navigation around the room, what size tub
or shower makes sense, whether two sinks are necessary, and
more. When crafting the perfect floor plan, don't underestimate the
importance of storage.
Even in a petite bath you can find more storage solutions than just
the vanity cabinet by adding a toilet surround, over-door shelving,
or a recessed medicine cabinet.
With that information in mind, you can begin to place the key
elements in the room -- the tub, shower, toilet, and sink(s). Not sure
where to begin? We've listed three popular bathroom designs below.
See which one fits your home and needs best.
a. Toilet and bath rooms and laundry rooms shall be provided with
window with an area not less than 1/20 of the floor area but not
less than 240 sq.mm. Such windows shall open directly to a
court, yard, public street or alley or open watercourse.
b. The polyvinyl chloride or P.V.C. door shutters are used for
bathrooms, kitchens. They provide total protection against
corrosion, moisture, termites, and chemicals.
