When you are planning your home decors, bathrooms will certainly not have much consideration as far as how you want them to look like. Choosing tiles, vanities, sink designs, and toilets seem to be enough but if you look further, you can improve it a bit further.

To some, the actual shower space can be as simple as choosing between shower curtains or traditional sliding doors. Of the two, it will depend a lot on budget.

There is not question that sliding doors are bound to cost more and for people who want to save on unnecessary expenses such as shower and bath areas, they may want to consider assessing the entire setup.

Curtains will do for most as they can be easily replaced once molds start to build. The important thing is to make sure that you control the water spatter since eventually, whichever of the two a home owner would choose, safety is surely needed to be considered in such cases.

Bathroom Remodeling: Shower Curtains or Sliding Doors

Contrary to what people believe in getting better value for your money on expensive remodeling of a home, you can really do it on a budget with the right approach and resources.

A lot of it has to do on how you outsource raw materials, contractors and designers. Many people today want an all-in-one deal since they don’t have the luxury of time to spare when it comes to home improvement. However, you may be surprised at the savings on cost if you exert a little effort. Some even just around 10 minutes on the phone to do and you may save yourself a couple of hundred on the side.

For the people who want to remodel on a budget, here are some good tips you may want to consider when it comes to remodeling and what you want to prioritize:

Replace kitchen countertops.

Upgrade bathrooms to make them safe and easier for people of all ages and abilities to use.

Paint a room for an instant uplift, and perhaps add crown moldings, chair rails and other trims.

Extend your living space to the outdoors by updating your landscaping, adding a path to an outlying seating area or building a small deck or patio.

Enhance curb appeal by replacing the front door with one designed to withstand the elements. A few planters and perhaps a bench are additional welcoming touches.

Improve energy efficiency by sealing heating and cooling ducts along seams with duct mastic or metal-backed tape and insulating ducts in unconditioned spaces.

Get rid of clutter and install organization systems to reduce stress and create more usable space in your home.

Home Facelift Done on a Budget

Using shower curtains to add that touch of classy appeal in most bathrooms as we all know but this piece of news regarding the toxic substances that they emit may make us think otherwise. Known to help avoid water splatters from your shower spot, you will notice some smell of normal plastic with mixed chemicals that seem to be normal with placing new shower curtains.

This was our immediate presumption. Apparently there is something else. These fumes do not emit such for nothing and for sure this is what this study from the Vinyl Council of Canada.

The study was conducted on five PVC shower curtains purchased from retail outlets in the United States and Canada. Testing showed different volatile organic compounds being released into the air from a vinyl shower curtain over 28 days. The total VOCs measured was 16 times greater than the recommended amount for indoor air quality.

All of the brands tested contained di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and diisononyl phthalate. These chemicals have been banned in children’s toys in California. Other chemicals found in the curtains (such as ethylbenzene, methyl isobutyl ketonedefine and cyclohexanone) are considered a human health concern under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.
