The bathroom is one of the parts of the house that sells, according to real estate agents, which explains why bathroom remodeling is such a popular home improvement project for homeowners all over the country. In addition to boosting the value of a property, upgrading the bathroom of a home also provides the benefits of a more comfortable, beautiful, and enjoyable home to live in.

In a bathroom remodel, the wet area is one of the main focuses that tops the list of the vast majority of renovations. In this article, our expert team at Full Measure will discuss what the wet area of your bathroom is, and why a bathroom replacement for this area might be such an important investment.

What Are Wet Areas?

As obvious as it sounds, the wet areas of the bathroom are the areas that are wet. To be more specific, the wet area of the bathroom is the space which consistently becomes subjected to high levels of moisture and humidity, because it directly gets wet, like the shower or the bathtub.

However, in recent years, entire wet rooms are increasingly becoming popular for the sleek and stylish aesthetic they provide, as well as the added convenience and value they can offer a home. This type of bathroom makes use of materials that are specially designed to get wet. These modern bathrooms typically feature a shower area and a freestanding bathtub that are separate from the toilet and sink section.

Why You Should Upgrade Your Wet Area

Bathrooms are one of the highest traffic areas in the house and can tend to deteriorate quickly—especially in older, low-quality constructions. If your bathroom hasn’t been updated in a while—especially in the wet area—it’s likely to benefit dramatically from a renovation. However, more than the appearance and aesthetic appeal, you need to upgrade for better convenience and safety.

If the wet area of your bathroom makes use of materials and fixtures that are not suitable for getting wet, and the design is not carefully considered, there can also be a higher risk of slips and falls. By getting a bathroom replacement from a trusted professional, safety hazards will be taken into consideration and addressed accordingly to create a safe, beautiful space that blends perfectly with the rest of the home.

Upgrade Now, Avoid Serious Problems Later

In addition to renovating for safety, a wet area upgrade is necessary if you’ve noticed signs of structural damage. Even if it doesn’t seem serious, cracks in the wall and water damage can become much larger issues, which is why it’s important to repair damages and upgrade immediately to avoid potentially bigger problems down the road. If the issue remains unaddressed, the damage can extend to the building structure and finishes. Eventually, you might notice rotting in the frames, the disintegration of linings, damages in the flooring and storage, as well as fading or peeling paint.

When you hire a reliable company for your bathroom upgrade, you can ensure that you will get a well-designed and professionally installed bathroom, with waterproof finishes that will protect your bathroom against damage from moisture.
