The previous article discussed several construction components like roofing (pre-interior), windows, doors, tiles, and countertops (interiors). This article will discuss several attributes of bathroom fixtures and their installations, including sinks, faucets, showers, mirrors, lights, etc. Choose a location: If you are figuring out where to place a bathroom in a brand new home, choose carefully. It has to be near different rooms where the water's used (kitchen and laundry), and not too far from the bedrooms. The bathroom floor must be higher than the ground level: For the proper draining of the water from the bathroom, it is clear that the bathroom level must be higher than the ground level. Bathroom fixtures: Bathroom fixtures are permanent elements that are either plumbed or wired and only really movable or detachable when you want to renovate your bathroom in the future. Examples of bathroom fixtures: Bathtub Toilet Basin or sink Shower Taps Bathtub: A bathtub is a bathroom fixture that adds elegance to your space and can also be the centrepiece of your bathroom. A bathtub may seem unnecessary, especially if you are working with less space, but it should be considered. Bathtub faucets add elegance to your bathroom and also become your centrepiece. There are hundreds of bathroom faucet options with the same function dedicated to bath filling. Types of bathtub faucets: Wall-mount faucet: This type of faucet is fixed to the wall and not to the floor or bathtub. It provides a common space around the edge of the bathtub. These faucets come in a variety of styles and aesthetic finishes and vary in price. The appearance of faucets protruding from the wall can also be quite appealing. Their installation is a bit tricky. Deck mount bathtub faucet: Deck-mounted faucets are attached to a block of wood, porcelain, or stone. They are attractive and offer freedom of placement. These types of faucets give you more freedom to place your bathroom wherever you want, and they are perfectly compatible with most bathroom types. They are easy to install, but they usually cost a little more than many others.Roman bathtub faucet: Roman bathtub taps required three holes to be drilled in the bathtub wall, except that the faucet has several handle options to suit your bathroom style. Freestanding bathtub faucet: These faucets are loosely positioned and are designed for bathtubs that do not have a pre-drilled hole. They are also known as floor-mounted faucets as they are attached to the floor and hang over the bathtub wall. So they can be placed anywhere. Toilets: The most common type of toilet is the closed coupled toilet; It is a single unit that sits on the floor, and the cistern sits at the top of the bowl. If you are looking for space-saving measures, you should consider a wall-mounted, fully enclosed toilet with the back of the toilet fully leaning against the wall. A wall-hung toilet is seated with a cistern inside the wall with only the bowl protruding out. Wall-hung toilets give the bathroom a modern look and are much easier to clean than closed-coupled toilets. Wall-hung toilets are more modern and minimalistic, take up less space in the bathroom and give aesthetic cleanliness and area. Basin or sink: When entering the bathroom, the first thing you come across is the sink. The sink is the focal point of the bathroom that needs attention. Different types of sinks are used for various functions and available space in your bathroom. Types of basins: Full-pedestal basin: A full pedestal basin is securely attached to the wall and can hide pipework and plumbing. It comes in a wide range. Semi pedestal basin: The semi-pedestal washbasin is also fixed to the wall and hides the pipework. Washstand: Ideal for traditional bathrooms, the washbasin has a beautiful classic look. Wall hung basin: They are great space savers when installing a new bathroom. Since they don't touch the floor, they create the illusion of more space in your bathroom. Wall-mounted is often fitted with a chrome-plated bottle trap underneath. Corner basins: Corner basins are designed to fit at right angles in most rooms. Corner basins are ideal for toilets or small bathrooms where a single space is available in the corner of the room. A corner basin, available in both forms- wall mounted and floor standing. It is an affordable solution for small spaces. Counter-top basin: It is usually placed on the top of the shelf and paired with a tall basin tap or wall-mounted basin tap. Because counter-top washbasins are not designed for a specific purpose, such as to save space or install in a corner, they come in all shapes, sizes, finishes, and great designs. Showers: Bathing in the tub is always a luxury style, but the new trend is showers. This surprisingly affordable and compact technique does not require any floor space. This minimalist luxury bathroom adds value to your home and enhances your standard of living.

Choosing the perfect washbasin or bathtub faucet in your bathroom is equally practical and elegant. A single-hole faucet describes a single knob that adjusts the temperature of the water from hot to cold in a more modern style. The central tap is more traditional, with one tap for cold water and one for hot water. For an ultra-modern feel, you can choose a wall-mounted faucet.
