dream space to life.
Tech Features for Safety
According to Houzz, some people add tech features to their space to improve the overall safety and usability of their bathrooms. Here are some safety features that can be implemented during your remodel:
- Smart water sensors for under the sink, bath, and shower that can detect leaks before they become problematic, potentially saving you hundreds on repair work
- Reduced tap flow and digital temperature control settings, conserving money and water
- Programmable features like a timed shower setting or a tooth brushing option at the faucet that runs for an allotted timeframe, conserving water
- Ambient lighting under the toilet as low-level lighting, and motion sensor lighting so you don’t forget to turn the light off when you leave the room, and reduce the risk of injury if you need to get up in the middle of the night
Tech Features for Convenience
Want to make your life easier and shave five minutes off your morning routine? Here are some popular tech features to get your morning started with ease:
1. Demisting mirrors to save time after a hot shower
2. Refrigerated bathroom cabinets that can keep medicines and skin-care products cool
3. Digital showers that preheat the water to your preferred temperature
Tech Features for Better Hygiene
Have a kid who doesn’t always remember how long to brush their teeth? What about a germaphobe in the family? There are so many timer-based and touchless technology options available for you to choose from:
- Smart toilets that don’t require hands or toilet paper, reducing cross-contamination and saving paper waste. Some already in use in Asia also include temperature-controlled water, spritzing wands, and automatic dryers
- Timer functions for the sink that include a tooth brushing setting to make sure everyone has sparkly, clean teeth
- Self-cleaning toilets and antimicrobial seats
- Touchless technology at the faucet
