Wet areas, such as your bathrooms, are particularly vulnerable to material degradation and damage due to exposure to moisture, humidity, hygiene cleaning products and temperature fluctuations. This can cause a range of problems, from aesthetic issues such as peeling paint or mould growth, to structural damage.
It’s important to choose materials that are suitable for use in wet areas, such as ceramic tiles or waterproof vinyl flooring, and to ensure that they’re properly installed and sealed to prevent water from seeping in, it’s also vital that regular maintenance is undertaken to prevent material degradation and damage. This might include regular cleaning to prevent the build up of mould and mildew, and regular inspection of fixtures such as taps, showerheads, and drains to ensure that they’re functioning properly and not leaking water.
In addition, we strongly recommend using natural based cleaning products such as white vinegar and to avoid harsh chemicals that contain bleach, as this can lead to premature wear and tear of the material.
By paying attention to material vulnerability in wet areas, and taking steps to prevent and address issues as they arise, you can ensure that your home remains safe, comfortable, and attractive for years to come.
