All of us have to shower every day and if you have larger family, there could be line up in the morning to take one. Water that come out for showering is estimated to be around 25% of all water used in the house. ALBO Renovations works with suppliers of showerheads that can minimize the water flow by as much as 30% and still have similar pressure to have proper showers. This green approach in bathroom remodeling can save an average home in Toronto close to $200 per year on water use and electricity bill combined.
One of the other sources of water that can be potentially reduced with our bathroom renovation contractors is from your toilet. Studies have shown that toilet flushes may consume up to 30% of all water in the house. By installing toilets that use slightly less water to flush and with increased pressure you will be saving water that does not have to go to waste as well as money that you can be using elsewhere. One option is to switch to dual flush system on your toilet and reduce water flow in more than half of your flushes. This green touch up in your bathroom can save you $100 per year.
Air Flow in Bathroom
Bathroom is the room where all moisture accumulates with heat from the water used while taking showers or bath. If you have older fan system in your house it can have a bad flow of air and leave behind moisture that can lead to creation of spores and molds. Water in the air that is left inside of the bathroom can potentially damage the walls or furniture like vanity or other shelves. Even some of new fans can have problems with carrying out all of the hot air, by creating bad smells and bacteria. The key is in exchange of air from warm to cold. Replacement of a switch system can play a big role as many of us forget to turn the fan off from time to time. Motion detector or time switchers are popular in green bathroom remodeling for newer homes in Toronto. Ask ALBO Reno contractors for possible solutions on your air flow in bathroom.
Green Materials Used
Most of home owners use green materials already for their renovations without knowing about it. One of the materials that is most often seen in bathrooms is ceramic tiles. They are very low maintenance and can be recycled afterwards. Tiles are water resistant and can withstand heat with moisture without any problem. Materials used by professionals renovation your bathroom, should not have any organic components and have to be saving heat inside the room. All the paint has to selected by professionals and applied properly to cover the walls from any water in the air. Otherwise it will start to rot and will have molds inside the wall. New lights installation can be a money saver as well. Most of ALBO green bathroom remodeling jobs consist of supplying materials as well as proper lights selected by the client and installed.
