Bathroom Plumbing-Brisbane
A designed bathroom is essential to ensure you have enough space to move around unhindered. I.e. a toilet or vanity basin positioned incorrectly may greatly reduce the free space in your bathroom. Pipes should be hidden away where possible to improve the aesthetics and taps should be positioned correctly to allow for ease of use. Most people take this for granted until they see a bathroom with pipes showing everywhere. Clever use of space is essential and the use of water saving taps and toilets is also extremely important.
Taps come in a variety of styles and colours and can have a fantastic effect in your bathroom. Chrome plated taps are most common as this colour of tap tends to blend in with most bathroom furniture and fixings however alternative colours are available on request. Mixer taps tend to be very popular due to their modern look and ease of use. You can install a mixer tap at any plumbing fixture in your bathroom and most new homes come standard with shower, bath and basin mixer taps. Always have leaking taps inspected by a licensed plumbing Brisbane expert as soon as possible to save water and possible damage to property.
Toilets now have a minimum 3 Star rating with 3/6 litre dual flush technology. Close coupled, low level and concealed options are available with stylish designs to suit any bathroom. You should inspect your toilet for any leaks when cleaning your bathroom floor. Small toilet leaks may not be obvious at first but a tiny water leak left unattended for over a few days or weeks can not only waste lots of precious water but could also cause damage to floors, walls and or ceilings. A noisy toilet, leaking toilet or blocked toilet should be repaired by a licensed plumber as soon as possible.
Showers should be inspected for broken tiles or cracked grout lines when cleaning your shower. The smallest crack in a tile can allow water to get in behind the wall and rot out timber framing and also attract termites! Leaking showers should be repaired quickly to avoid major damage. Shower taps should flow at around 9 litres per minute which is sufficient to save water and enjoy a good shower at the same time. Pouring the occasional litre of boiling hot water or drain acid down the shower waste every month can also help prevent hair and soap building up in the shower drain.
Basins are usually found in three different styles, vanity basin, pedestal basin or wall mounted basin. Bathroom basins should have concealed piping to supply the taps and waste connections. It is a good idea to remove the s bend every six months or so to clean out any hair or soap that may be building up and which could possibly cause a blocked drain.
