The use of towel radiators and frosted glass shower screens has become widespread. They give a touch of style and modernity to the bathroom while offering a silky comfort to the towels. However, they are effective if you do not overload them.
Fashionable, polished concrete is not recommended in bathrooms. It is not immune to cracks and the use of color is delicate. It requires a specific support on the wall and a large floor space. The installation by a specialist is essential. An alternative: Lay tiles imitation concrete or slate.
Electric towel radiators are easy to install since they do not require any connection to the water. They must be located at a certain distance from wet areas. The towel radiators are very effective. To calculate the number of watts needed, simply multiply the volume of the room in m3 by 45 (for example, for 9m3, it takes a power of 400 watts).
An electrical extraction or mechanical ventilation type connected to the outside is essential. The motor can be integrated into the false ceiling or placed on the wall. The ventilation can also be centralized in the house and used for other rooms.
The lighting coming from the ceiling and directed downwards in the form of a chandelier or a ceiling light (preferably vapor-proof) offers the general light, its position in height allowing to distribute the light in the whole of the room and to facilitate the circulation. This type of lighting is advisable in the case of generous volumes and high ceilings. We can also provide a false ceiling in which will be embedded mini-spots.
Indirect lighting by wall sconces on the sides, but this more decorative solution must respect the protected volumes. Equipped with halogens, the sconces will diffuse a light close to that of the day. A solution adapted to medium surfaces.
Mini halogen spotlights very low voltage. Another source of light to create a comfortable atmosphere: the lighting directed by a series of mini-low voltage halogen spotlights (TBT) orientable on rails (or recessed in a false ceiling) and judiciously distributed. They have the advantage of adjusting in intensity and therefore offer a light that varies depending on the desired atmosphere. Perfect for illuminating a bathroom blind and make it inviting.
It is the face and not the mirror that needs to be illuminated. The light must be both flattering and sharp, without shadows or cheating. Placing the lighting from bottom to top creates unsightly shadows.
All devices must be connected to a GFCI. Each security volume corresponds to a lighting level. Distributors and manufacturers of Frosted Glass Shower Screens can provide installation services. They guide you in your project from A to Z. The installation is carried out and guaranteed by their teams of professional installers.
