Five Safety Features to Install During Your Bathroom Remodel

There are several reasons why it may be time to remodel your bathroom. Maybe the room is outdated, and you are ready for an upgrade. Perhaps plumbing problems have made a repair and remodel necessary. Possibly, you or a loved one is getting older or has a disability that needs to be accommodated, with bathroom safety and logistics considerations. Whatever the reason, kitchen and bath re-modelers in Royal Oak MI can provide outstanding service according to the customer’s needs.

Safety Features

The words, “Safety features” do not tend to spark the imagination, or bring to mind personalization, variety, and style. However, those qualities are what bathroom remodeling in Royal Oak MI can provide for your bathroom. Whether your taste is traditional, country, or eclectic, you can be pleased with and safe in your stylish new bathroom.

Grab Bars

Grab bars are an excellent way to assist in bathroom safety. They are available in designs and colors that suit your décor. Based on where you plan to place the bar(s), you can choose from one of the following types:

L-shaped
Straight
Vertical
Swing-Away
Portable
Designer shaped

Materials that grab bars come from include:

stainless steel
brass
bronze
gold
chrome

All of these materials are available with different types of finishes to complement your new bathroom.

Shower Benches

If your bathroom safety needs include the security and comfort of seating inside the shower, you can include that in your bathroom remodeling. Shower benches can be constructed into the shower using the same tile as the shower. They can be built into a corner, or across a wall. Bench seats can also be of other material, such as Teak wood. It is also possible to have a wall mounted, fold up shower seat installed.

Hand Held Shower Heads

Hand held shower heads work together with shower benches as part of your bathroom safety plan. These showerheads are available with one or two features:• An extra long hose• Several different spray options• A diverter valve to switch between hand-held and regular shower• Pause control - a button to reduce water flow

Walk-in Tubs

Walk-in tubs are excellent for providing bathroom safety. These tubs offer advantages over the traditional type:

They are lower to the floor.
Most of them include safety bars, railings, seating, and non-slip floors.

There are other specialties available as well, such as style variety, fixed or handheld showerheads with adjustable settings, whirlpool jets, and quick drain features. There are also walk-in tub-shower combinations that provide the user with safety and a pleasant choice.

Chair–Height Toilets

If your remodel is mainly to accommodate an older person, you may want to consider a taller toilet. These toilets are about the same height as a chair, making it easier to sit and stand. Different styles (ex.,round or elongated) features (flushing technology), and colors are available. Grab bars are also available to place along the sides of toilets. Whatever your bathroom remodeling needs, our Royal Oak MI company is available to help you.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
