An ugly 3 way bathroom transformed into a stunning modern traditional bathroom in Lismore NSW.This bathroom renovation entailed a large scope of works. The old bathroom was a 3-way design layout. This made each room quite pokey and dimly lit due to little natural light being available. The shower was leaking, the ceiling was cracking and the floor joists had started to drop to one side. The homeowners, wanted to convert the 3-way bathroom into a single room bathroom design.  Before Renovation  After Bathroom Renovation.

Our clients brief for this bathroom was to remove the bath tub to create more floor space within the small bathroom. We stripped out the bathroom and replaced wall framing which had been damaged by the leaking shower. The old bathroom design had the vanity unit placed under the window which left no room for a mirror. We moved the plumbing and installed the new vanity onto an adjacent wall, making it possible to also install a mirror cabinet above the vanity.

This main bathroom was originally an owner-built project that consisted of just a vanity bench with basin, a corner shower and a toilet. The bathroom area itself was quite generous in size but the area was poorly utilised with no built in storage area to keep toiletries, towels or other bathroom products. Our client not only wanted to update the look of her bathroom but she also wanted to add some storage space and if possible a bath tub, however, it needed to be done within a lower end budget.
Keeping bathroom costs down!Ceramic and Porcelain are both clay tileshowever despite the fact that both are man-made and created from clay, they are very different materials in looks, durability, and how they are created. The easiest and fastest way to tell a ceramic tile from a porcelain tile is to take a look at its edge. A ceramic tile, whether for floor or wall use, has a glaze on top of the surface, giving it, it’s colour and finish.  Ceramic tiles come in two types, monocottura and bicottura. Both types are made with pressed wet clay, however monocottura is only fired once and bicottura is fired twice. A bicottura tile is much harder and denser than a monocottura tile. Porcelain tile is made of clay dust not wet clay. The dust is dyed or pigmented into the desired colour, then compacted under extreme pressure, which makes the tile much denser and durable. The resulting tile is then fired to much higher temperatures than the ceramic tiles, resulting in a non-porous, hard and highly durable tile.  Porcelain tiles on bathroom wall Pros & Cons
Wet Room Bathroom Styles & DesignsWet Room style bathrooms are a hot trend in Australia right now, and for many good reasons. It’s a trend that's not disappearing anytime soon. In this article, we explain what a wet room is, the different styles of wet room bathroom design commonly seen in Australia, and the Pros and Cons of wet rooms.  Open Shower in Nashua NSW by Northern Rivers Bathroom Renovations What is a Wet Room?With its design roots from Japan, a traditional wet room would usually be two rooms. The first room, known as an entrance room, is used for undressing/ dressing and would also have a bathroom vanity/sink. The 2nd room would be the actual bathroom consisting of a shower and a deep bathtub. The toilet would be separate from these two rooms. In Australia, we don’t usually see the traditional Japanese style wet room, but rather we see many versions of wet room type bathrooms, especially in the bathroom renovation industry where the renovator is often limited by the existing room size and accessibility to existing plumbing. A wet room is a bathroom in which the shower is open (might have a partial screen but not fully enclosed) and its floor area is flush with the rest of the room. The following wet room bathrooms are the three most common wet room designs we see in Australia. |
