When to Order Material for your Bathroom Remodel
2

• Once you have decided to remodel your bathroom,
  the planning begins. Most homeowners start off
  with a general theme and style they want to
  accomplish for their new bathroom.  Once they
  have decided on those two things, many homeowners
  do not really know where to start.

• It is important to understand that when you are
  building a custom or semi-custom bathroom, the
  sequence in which you order material plays a very
  important role in the project because delays in
  receiving material essentially means delays in
  starting (and completing) your project.

• This is an exciting time but once you get
  started, product selection can be overwhelming. 
  Here are the 7 core products, and the sequence
  you need to purchase them in, to ensure you keep
  your sanity (we have excluded accessories, trim, 
  and paint in this particular article)

1. Select your vanity.

• Do not delay on selecting your vanity, some are
  custom made or are not in stock and can take
  several weeks to receive.  You do not want your
  finished bathroom to be delayed while you wait
  for your vanity to arrive from the manufacturer. 
  Most contractors will not begin work on your
  project until all the materials have arrived so
  this is a priority.  If you hired a bathroom
  remodeling contractor, have him help you with the
  process of selecting your bathroom vanity.

2. Select your bathtub and shower glass doors (if
applicable).

• Bathtubs, like vanities, can have a long delay in
  shipment depending on where they are coming from
  and if they are in stock.  There are a variety of
  different sizes and options for bathtubs
  including type of material, depth, length, with
  or without jets, and handles.  Becoming popular
  are the walk in tubs meant for aging in place.

3. Select your faucets and trim to be installed.

• Selecting your faucets and trim is an essential
  part of your shopping.  There are rough parts
  to the shower fixtures which will be installed
  behind the drywall and under the tile floor. 
  Without those parts, you will be delayed in the
  middle of your project.  Be aware that the type
  of shower head options may affect your
  installation cost and be sure to match your tub
  and shower trim to your sink faucets many times
  they are paired in a family of products such as
  Kohlers Memoirs Collection.

4. Select the tile for your shower and
backsplash.

• Tile is just as important as your vanities
  because its such a large piece of the bathroom. 
  You will be selecting tile for your shower and
  backsplash so you will want to consider how well
  they coordinate with one another.  We tend to
  guide our clients against match match with
  the different products to avoid a washed look. 
  For example, we might suggest not using white
  tile with white cabinets.

5. Select your toilet.

• When it comes to toilets, the choice may seem
  simple, however, toilets are getting more and
  more sophisticated!   There are toilet options
  that are designed to be green and save water
  depending on which flush option you choose.  
  Additionally, there are a variety of style and
  color options. Manufacturers such as Kohler have
  families of sink, tub, and toilets which have the
  same style, making your product selection choices
  a little easier when you want them to match.

6. Select your lighting.

• Dont forget to consider your lighting
  optionsthere are so many to choose from.  Not
  only do you have to decide between canned lights,
  pendant lights, or light bars you also need to
  decide what you want out of your light switches. 
  For example, do you want to have a dimmer, is it
  important to have a built in night-light?  Those
  types of questions will lead you to the light
  that will fit your familys lifestyle.

7. Last, but not least, select your flooring

• Flooring is your last and final piece to your
  master piece. Ditch the linoleum and select
  flooring that works with your design.  If you
  love wood but dont want the hassle of
  maintaining a wood floor, there are now porcelain
  wood tiles that can give you the look of wood
  flooring.  Travertine flooring along with ceramic
  tile are also popular choices.

• Your bathroom has the potential to look amazing. 
  The world of design and remodeling have endless
  capabilities to turn the idea of your space to a
  wonderful masterpiece. Start getting inspired by
  looking at local design build contractors
  website or better yet look to see if they have a
  Houzz profile.   Anything is possible no matter
  the size of the space.
