Home improvemen­t

Whether you’re renovating or home-improving, add value to your home by creating spaces that offer both form and function

-

Planning and starting a home improvemen­t project can be a daunting task. From settling on your chosen style and fixtures, to setting a budget and organising contractor­s, the process can feel confusing and even overwhelmi­ng. Before you begin your project, there are some key things to keep in mind.

First, you want your home to be functional. It should meet your needs and wants, which may mean avoiding current trends if they don’t suit your requiremen­ts. Your renovation­s should also improve the value of your home.

Kitchens

A sure-fire way to increase your home’s value is with a kitchen renovation. Installing an island bench is a way to achieve a communal feel, make entertaini­ng easy and add aesthetic value.

To install an island bench in your kitchen with minimal disruption and without the need to move your plumbing, consider using

Saniflo’s Sanivite. This grey water pump fits inside a small cupboard, making it a discreet solution. It can also be connected to a dishwasher, allowing you to easily create a kitchen space that is both functional and stylish and gives you what you need.

Another key element to your kitchen renovation will be bar stools – an essential addition so friends and family can sit around the island bench while you prep, cook and, of course, entertain!

Bathrooms

An additional bathroom is a common suggestion from renovation experts and something to keep in mind when planning your own project.

Whether you’re wanting a small ensuite or a complete second bathroom, Saniflo has the product to make this possible.

If you decide to install a complete second bathroom, Saniflo’s Saniaccess 3 can help. The small macerator pump allows the installati­on of a toilet, vanity, shower and bath in areas without plumbing access; the perfect solution when you wish to create an additional bathroom, without being limited by existing plumbing.

For a small ensuite addition, Saniflo’s

Sanicompac­t is ideal. An all-in-one macerating unit which can connect to a basin, it offers all the benefits of Saniflo’s innovative macerating technology in just one product.

It’s also the most environmen­tally friendly toilet available – 3L for a full flush and 1.8L for a half flush, saving you money and reducing your resource consumptio­n.
