The Pros' Guide to Renovating Your Bathroom

Understand the Shower/Tub Basics A freestanding tub—if you have room for one—is great for resale value in a kid-friendly neighborhood. But if your space isn't big enough for both a spacious walk-in shower and a bath (and you don't have small children to bathe), a shower/tub combo is best. “Back in the McMansion era, Jacuzzi-style bathtubs were all the rage, but the pendulum has swung back towards showers, especially in master bathrooms. At the high-end, there might also be a nice soaking tub in there, but the walk-in shower is the top priority," says DiClerico.  So for now let's focus on showers. Though it may seem like a small detail, choosing the right enclosure for your shower or shower/tub combo will make a pretty big difference. These are the main players:  Curtains: “We prefer these for shower/tub combos,” says Zunino, since a soft, flexible curtain makes it easier to bathe children than a glass door. Bonus: It’s easy to swap out if your style changes. Glass Doo...

Bathroom Remodel Ideas

Bathroom remodel ideas have a tendency to leave us lusting after looks that we think are unachievable and very costly. It goes without saying that any bathroom reno is a big task that will require a little spend. And, it can seem complicated if you're working with a small space, or one that's awkwardly shaped, with quirky (even visible) pipework, not much natural lighting and so on. However, not all bathroom renovations require you to spend all your cash or to rip out any fixtures – or walls for that matter. And, you can remodel a bathroom on a shoestring budget, creating the same gorgeous finish, without the cost.  Whether you have $5000 or $50 to spend, you'll be able to make the right changes to suit your space. And should you need plumbing and more specialist work doing, you'll want to know the best approach for your project, to help bring all those gorgeous bathroom ideas to life with minimal complications (and costs).

What are the Different Types of Propane Fittings?

Propane is a versatile fuel source that can be used in many different applications, ranging from outdoor cooking and camping accessories to heating and power generation. As such, there has been an increased demand for a number of different propane fittings to be used in various applications. Propane fittings such as regulators, couplers, brass t-valves and different steel fittings allow for the safe and consistent flow of propane gas to the source of ignition. They all, however, have there own uses and in most cases propane fittings cannot be swapped out for different fittings meant for other applications. One example of a propane fitting is a regulator. A regulator is an instrument that both allows and impedes the flow of the compressed propane gas to whatever apparatus it’s connected to. The regulator also typically has a gauge on it that tells the operator how quickly the propane fuel is being distributed to the various apparatuses it is fueling. The user is also able to use multipl...

Gas Fittings

Gas fittings are a unique brand of hardware because they only serve one single purpose: connecting gasses with the appropriate lines. These are the fittings that you would see when working with gasses like flammable propane or hazardous phosgene. The primary thing that sets gas fittings apart from other types of fittings is their thread. They are reverse threaded so that gas cannot accidentally be connected to air, water, or vent lines. When it comes to connecting gas fittings with their appropriate lines, there are a number of potential uses. They can connect to gas mains, propane tanks, residential gas lines, explosives, and more. However, you need to know which fitting types are appropriate for your specific needs.  Fitting Types Selecting the right gas fittings depends on understanding when to use which type and for what application. There are more than a dozen different styles of gas fittings that you may need to refer to when working with gas lines. Here is the breakdown of a...

How to Install an Electric Water Heater

 Before You Begin Determine whether you need a water heater replacement or if maintenance will suffice. If you’re not getting hot water, it could be the heating element or another maintenance issue. Take a quick maintenance assessment before embarking on a full replacement.   If you have water on the floor or on top of the unit (this is different from water leaking from a supply line above the unit), you’ll probably need a new water heater. The data plate on your current tank has size and energy specifications that help make buying a comparable unit easier. If your family has changed size, it's a good time to consider upsizing or downsizing your electric water heater. Caution Your home’s water pressure is important for all water-using appliances. Reduced pressure lessens stress on plumbing lines and extends the life of appliances and fixtures.   Water Pressure Pressure gauge attached to a hose at an outdoor spigot to determine the home's water pressure.
