When remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, there’s more to consider than just decor and design. Plumbing upgrades will also enhance the look and function of each space. Here are a few ideas to help you as you plan your project.

Plumbing Upgrades for the Bathroom

Not all toilets are created equal. For example, if you want to limit your water usage to keep bills low and protect the planet, ultra-efficient, low-flow fixtures are the right choice. Most modern models use 20% to 60% less water than conventional toilets.

Shower enclosures can also be upgraded. A detachable showerhead can be convenient, especially if you have young kids or pets to bathe. Waterfall varieties are also modern and beautiful. When it comes to tubs, a deeper basin is typically more comfortable, particularly when you choose an option with whirlpool jets.

Plumbing Upgrades for the Kitchen

There are two main types of kitchen sinks. The drop-in design has a lip that connects it to the counter, while the undermount style sits beneath the surface, meaning the counter extends to the edge of the basin. Both options have unique benefits: drop-in sinks are typically more affordable and can be installed on most countertop materials, while undermount options increase counter space and make wiping debris into the basin easy.

Depending on your needs, you might want to switch to a double sink. This option can hold more dishes, making cleanup and cooking for a larger family more convenient. If you have ample counter space available, the upgrade might be worth it.
