Remodeling Your Bathroom to Make it Safer for Your Children to Navigate

Families with young children will notice their kids may struggle when it comes to using the bathroom. Bathrooms can be remodeled and made safer for children. The process can be both simple and cost effective. A contractor can install barriers so a small child can't enter the bathroom without the help of an older person. Door knobs can be made to open from both sides so a child can't accidentally lock themselves inside the bathroom and more.

Child Safety Features

A bathroom can be remodeled to have a variety of child safety features. Tiles can be installed in a bathroom so water can't become stagnant. This will reduce the chance of slips and falls. There is a danger of young children playing in a bathtub. A child safety cover can be installed to cover a shower and bathtub when not in use. A toilet lid can be installed that will prevent young children from falling in the toilet or flushing items harmful to a home's plumbing.

Improved Accessible

Young children need to learn how to use the bathroom. It's important they have easy access to items they need. This can be accomplished by having a number of things installed during bathroom remodeling. This includes a graduated step down into a tub basin, hand-held shower head on a working bar. This will make it easier to remove shampoo from a child's hair and is a good way to keep a bathtub clean. Faucets can be installed that have anti-scald valves. This can prevent the chance of burns from hot water. An adjustable shower bar will provide safety for children in Livonia MI as they grow.

Child Bathroom

Some parents in Livonia MI are able to remodel a specific bathroom to be used by their young child. One of the things to remember is that everything must be at the right height. The vanity countertop needs to be at a child's height, so a child doesn't have to reach for things on their tippy toes. The right height will provide easy access to the faucet. Another option for bathroom remodeling is to have a countertop at the standard size but install lift-out steps in the lowest vanity drawer. This will avoid the need to use a shaky stool.

Bathroom Storage Space

When remodeling a bathroom for children, it's important to provide a lot of places to store things. The more storage space, the better. Providing oversized, deep tub niches designed to hold bottles and bath toys is good. A contractor is able to provide a decorative bath toy box. Vanity cabinets can be installed to hide any possible clutter. Bins can be provided to contain any overflow. This can keep a child's bathroom neat and clean as well as safe.

Increase Safety

It may not be possible to build a bathroom that eliminates any possible danger, but during the remodeling process, the level of child safety can be increased dramatically. This type of remodeling will be able to provide a safe bathroom for a family's young children as well as any possible children in the future.Remake or remodel your bathroom and/or kitchen today with Kurtis Kitchen & Bath.

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!
