Bathroom Renovation Trends in 2010 – Eco Friendly, of course

Whether you’re a skeptic or an environmental radical you can’t deny that it is the trend of 2010. Beyond ideals and the aversion of extinction, creating a “green” bathroom is often cost effective as you are essentially trying to use less. Beyond this we should also consider the global microcosm of Sydney; Hollywood Bathrooms and Kitchens is based in Willoughby and primarily services the north shore and it is our duty (as “north shorers”) to take the first step in this and take up the slack of the developing world (read “the west”). So if you are looking to expiate your eco-guilt or if you just wish to drop your bathrooms carbon footprint into conversation there are several things you need to consider.

Low-Flow Toilets

These are not simply toilets with that half flush option that we in Australia are so familiar with but rather toilets that reduce flow dramatically without compromising their original purpose.

Energy Efficient Lighting

If you haven’t installed these already for savings alone then get on it

Low Flow Shower Heads

In the same vein as Low-Flow toilets, Bathrooms hog the most water in the home after the Laundry. Curbing the usage, however possible, is key.

Sustainable Building Products

When designing your renovated bathroom, opt for materials made of recycled or renewable sources

So if it’s the parallels with cost cutting or displaced polar bears consider the environment as you consider your new bathroom. For any and all questions regarding your dream bathroom please do not hesitate to call Linda on 99 675 675
