Technical planning of your space

Bathroom renovation starts with technical analysis. If you intend to swap a bathtub for a walk-in shower, you must check the available drain slope in your floor. Improper management of this gradient can lead to problematic water stagnation.

Furthermore, consider the layout of existing water inlets and drains. Optimizing pipe routes often reduces labor costs.

Rigorous planning from the start guarantees a long-lasting and functional installation while avoiding expensive structural changes during the construction phase.

Water management and maintenance

In the Köniz region, water can be hard, leading to rapid scale buildup on fittings and glass screens. When selecting your equipment, prioritize easy-to-clean surfaces and durable materials.

Shower screens with anti-limescale treatments significantly simplify daily cleaning. Choose high-quality faucets with removable aerators for easy descaling.

Investing in durable materials today will allow you to maintain a sparkling bathroom for much longer without excessive effort.

Construction site organization

A renovation project involves a construction phase where your bathroom will be out of commission. Generally, expect 2 to 4 weeks without a usable bathroom. This period varies based on the scope of work and contractor availability.

It is advisable to agree on a precise schedule with your providers to minimize inconveniences. Arrange an alternative solution for your daily hygiene during this period.

Good coordination between plumbers, tilers, and electricians is the key to meeting deadlines and ensuring a smooth transition to your new bathroom.
