Bathrooms and plumbing
The bathroom - often underestimated space of central importance The bathroom in Germany measures just under eight square meters on average and adults spend a good hour there every day. In addition to the toilet there is always a sink, in most bathrooms there is a shower, often a bathtub. After about 30 years, the bathroom will be completely renewed on a national average. Of course, the basic requirements vary greatly when it comes to renovating or redesigning a bathroom - but with the dark and musty wet room of yesteryear, the modern bathroom shouldn't have anything in common afterwards. Even for the small budget, there are many measures that can visually enhance your bathroom. For larger projects, the bathroom becomes a private spa area that invites you to linger. We are happy to help and advise you on the style of the new or renovated bathroom.
Barrier-free bathroom: Thinking about the future when planning When planning a bathroom, care is taken to ensure that functionality is not neglected. For property owners in particular, it is advisable to plan an accessible bathroom from the start. Because this increases the value of the apartment or house almost automatically. In Germany there is a lack of accessible living spaces for the elderly and the disabled. But even if the property itself is used, it is advantageous in the long term to take into account the aging process and thus possibly limited mobility. The second major technical theme in bathroom planning is saving energy. Here, ecological thinking is combined with the savings potential of the monthly consumption costs that arise in the bathroom. There may be the possibility of receiving grants or grants for such projects.
The bathroom and smart home The trend towards smart home will continue in 2020 and will not stop at the bathroom. The idea behind the smart home is to be able to centrally control as many elements of the modern living space as possible, from the radiators to roller shutters and ventilation to lighting and entertainment electronics. Established manufacturers offer retrofit kits as well as solutions for new buildings and complete renovations. A few examples of the practical benefits: Shortly before the alarm clock rings, the radiator automatically starts in the bathroom so that you can take a shower while you are warm. The smart home then tilts the window to ventilate and closes it again. The roller shutters are shut down at night, preventing heat from being wasted unnecessarily. The lighting in the smart bathroom can be steplessly regulated from particularly bright to cozy colors. When planning the bathroom, it must be taken into account with regard to a smart home that WLAN reception is guaranteed and the individual components can be controlled individually via individually defined power sources.
Control your bathroom easily and safely via voice control or smartphone on the go. Intelligent smart home applications and systems provide more security and save both costs and valuable energy. In addition, they make life a lot easier for you: after all, how nice would it be if the bath water - at the perfect temperature, of course - was already in when you come home after a stressful day at work?
Personality is also expressed in the bathroom As in the living room or bedroom, the same applies to the bathroom: the possibilities for expressing your personal style in the design of the room are almost endless. A minimalist room in white has the timeless advantage of meeting the basic requirements for the bathroom, of being characterized by cleanliness and hygiene. Bathrooms in the so-called industrial style aim in the same direction, creating eye-catchers with steel details and exposed walls. But modern materials make a lot more design ideas possible without neglecting hygiene. Dark accents often give your bathroom a modern, timeless and cozy touch.
LED in the bathroom and guest toilet LED lighting in the bathroom is the future. LED lamps use little electricity and are insensitive to vibrations and dampness. LED lamps and LED lamps are somewhat more expensive to buy than energy-saving lamps, but this is compensated for by longer life and low power consumption. It is much more important that LED lights develop their full brightness as soon as they are switched on and basically cover a wide range of colors. In addition, LED lights are dimmable and develop little outside heat, which makes them suitable for almost any design solution.
With LED light strips, for example, the entire bathroom can be immersed in a light that is not only adjustable in its brightness, but also in its color. For example, a bright yellow daylight can be selected for the morning wash and a warm red or orange for the evening relaxation bath. Basically, LED lights can be used in almost all existing lamp holders.
