Safe Bathroom Design and Allergic Recurrence at Home
A good bathroom must not only be beautiful, but also safe for all occupants inside the house. However, for people with allergy and respiratory disease such as chronic asthma, a poor bathroom design may become the reason why his or her condition keeps getting worse. Wonder what could be the cause? It could be mold.
One of the most common causes of allergy recurring in the house is mold growth. Since mold grows mostly in warm and humid place, a good bathroom should be guarded against mold growth by applying the right paint, maintaining good plumbing systems and installing good materials for the walls and tiles.
Since allergy can often fail to be detected in a long time, doing preventive steps is important, including planning about the bathroom building and renovating well. You had better avoid vinyl flooring in your bathroom design option. Vinyl is known to emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which may influence the quality of indoor air.
However, many homeowners often fail to pay much attention to bathroom design. As consequences, mold easily grows and causing allergic reactions. The worst thing is that mold can grow inside the wall as well as the outside, making it hard to detect. Therefore, many allergic people often get worse symptoms without knowing about the cause.
Toilet, sink and bathtub are the main items you should decide with. Their color should not be contrasting with each other. Some home depots offer them in sets or they come in separate units. Whether you'll be choosing a whole set or separate units of toilet, sink, and bathtub, make sure they come along with the bathroom you preferred to have.
You should be aware that cabinets and shelves could make a difference in your bathroom design. They are not just a place to store bathroom necessities and toiletries but they are also an added factor for having a sumptuous bathroom. Cabinets can conceal unwanted electrical cords if you are placing outlets. They can transform bulky wires into a compact one. Cabinets are best placed beside the sink whether they are built over, under, or either sides of the sink.
Bathrooms are best made to offer a safe haven for anyone. A finishing touch of bathroom design can make anyone want to spend even longer hours in the bathroom. With just a mixture of imagination and creative construction, your bathroom can be a calming home for you and your love ones.
