3 Worry-Free Ways to Design a Healthy Bathroom

Aesthetics and function are always prioritized in a bathroom remodel, but you shouldn’t overlook health either. After all, the space generates a huge amount of water and moisture, which may encourage the growth of mold and mildew. Fortunately, keeping a healthier bath space for you and your family can be simple. One of the area’s premier walk-in tub installation companies, Total Bath Systems, shares some handy tips here.

1. Increase ventilation. To keep your bathroom healthy and mold-free, make sure there’s sufficient and continuous ventilation in the space. You can do this simply by opening the windows to expel warmth and excess moisture. Another is to install, or add, bathroom exhaust fans. Just make sure these fans exhaust outside and not into the wall cavity or attic.

2. Invest in non-porous materials. You should do away with tile shower walls and floors because their grout lines can serve as a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Instead, choose an alternative, non-porous material for your shower and bath surfaces. Total Bath Systems, the area’s trusted bathtub replacement contractors, can help you with this. We offer top-tier shower  wall panels and bases made of crushed marble and fiber strands. They don’t absorb moisture like tilework, eliminating the potential of fungal growth, and their non-porous surface ensures that no bacteria will stick to them. Plus they’re incredibly easy to clean.

3. Add live plants. Their beauty can add a refreshing look to any room, but they can be especially useful in your bath space. Live plants offer a simple yet effective way to improve the air quality in the bathroom and regulate its humidity levels. Research even reveals that they can reduce stress and improve memory retention and concentration.
