Are you looking to renovate your bathroom? Use this ideabook as a guide book to accomplish exactly what you set out to do! 

1. Don't begin with the floor

A common mistake that most people make when remodeling the bathroom is to begin with the floor. While this might seem like an organized way to start- from bottom to top, refrain from doing so. We push this point further because it becomes an arduous task to scrub the tiles soon after remodeling.  

2. Begin with the plumbing

The first thing that you need to tick off your checklist is the plumbing. Ensure that all the pipes are in place and in working condition before you proceed to begin with any sort of remodeling. 

3. Level out the walls

Once you figure out the path that the plumbing traces, you will need to waterproof and line the pipes so that there is no accumulation of moisture in any of these areas. 

4. Create the drainage slope

The drainage should slope at roughly a 1% or 2% inclination. This is done to ensure that there is no logging of water.
