Enhancing the Bathroom: From Bathtub to Modern Shower

The client’s vision for the bathroom was to replace the traditional bathtub with a sleek and practical shower tray. This upgrade not only modernized the space but also made it more functional and tailored to their daily needs.

Upgrading Heating for Comfort and Efficiency

A significant portion of the project focused on modernizing the heating system:

  • Underfloor Heating on the Ground Floor: The existing radiators were removed and replaced with underfloor heating, providing even warmth and a clutter-free aesthetic.
  • Combi Boiler Installation: The original boiler and water tank were replaced with a combi boiler, ensuring improved efficiency and freeing up space within the house.

These changes enhanced both comfort and energy efficiency, setting the stage for a cozy living environment.

A Home Tailored to Modern Living

The garden was transformed to become a welcoming outdoor retreat:

  • Fencing and Flooring Revamp: All the old fencing and floor tiles were removed and replaced with modern materials for a polished look.
  • Artificial Grass Installation: Half of the garden was covered with low-maintenance artificial grass, providing a lush, green aesthetic all year round.

This redesign balanced functionality and visual appeal, creating an inviting space for relaxation and entertainment.

Revitalizing the Garden: A Blend of Natural and Artificial Beauty

This refurbishment project highlights how strategic updates can align a house with the unique needs and tastes of its owners. From energy-efficient heating systems to practical outdoor spaces, every aspect was designed with care and precision.
