Quick Tips for Bathroom Remodeling
  • toilet photo
    Check out toilet ratings at www.map-testing.com. . MaP stands for maximum performance testing, and toilets are rated for toilet efficiency and flush performance
  • Counter top pros & cons:
    • Natural stone - beautiful but needs to be sealed regularly; porous marble and limestone can absorb spilled toiletries
    • Resin-based - can be formed as a seamless piece, including the sink, and needs no sealing
    • Laminate - affordable, scratch and stain resistant but can delaminate over time
  • How high to place it?
    • towel rack - 48"
    • robe hook - 66-72"
    • medicine cabinet/mirror - middle of the mirror should be eye level - 60-66"
    • grab bars - 33-36"
    • vanity lights alongside mirror - eye level (66"), about 36-40" apart
    • toilet paper holder - 26" high, 6" in front of toilet
