Those contemplating their own bathroom renovations may consider multiple showerheads and heated flooring for a spalike retreat.
What began as a utilitarian space for personal sanitation has, in modern times, trans- formed into one of the most
coveted rooms in the house. Bathrooms have become a place to relax and unwind, and new bathrooms are on the top of many homeowners’ wish lists.
Bathrooms can be as lavish as budgets allow. Wish lists can include luxurious soaking tubs, rainfall showerheads, chaise lounges, televisions or home entertainment systems contained in the space. Those contemplating their own bathroom ren- ovations may draw inspiration from the following features.
➤ Hot-water recirculation system: Few things can be as disappointing as desiring a hot bath or shower only to find that the hot water tank has been drained. The home remodeling company Normandy Remod- eling said that water-recirculation systems provide on-demand hot water. In such systems, hot water may continuously run through the pipes, or there may be a pump underneath a sink. Either way, one needn’t wait for the water to warm up any longer.
➤ Double undermount sinks: Bathroom time is at a premium, especially when peo- ple must prepare and leave the house to- gether. Rather than jockeying for position around a single sink, dual sinks enable more breathing room and time efficiency. Undermount sinks are easy to clean be- cause there is no lip where the sink meets the vanity, preventing the accumulation of grime and gunk.
➤ Glass-free shower: Soap scum and water deposits can form on shower doors, even for homeowners who are diligent with cleaning. A sizable shower prevents water spray and affords the ability to forgo glass doors or curtains, thereby cutting down on cleaning and making the room feel more modern.

Partners who keep similar schedules may enjoy the convenience of dual sinks.
➤ Multihead shower: When redoing the shower, account for various shower heads so the water can cascade across the body more completely. This provides a spa experience at home.
➤ Touchless faucets and soap dispensers: These aren’t just for public bathrooms any- more. Touchless faucets and dispensers are more sanitary and convenient.
➤ Separate toilet room: A shared bath almost necessitates this type of setup. The toilet is housed inside its own small space and closed away from the rest of the bathroom. It’s more private and convenient this way.
➤ Heated flooring: You need not worry about stepping out of a warm shower onto a cold floor when heated flooring is part of the equation. This option is available in var- ious flooring materials as well. Remodeling a bathroom boils down to certain coveted features that can really set a space apart.
