In several countries, one of them in Indonesia, wet bathrooms are still one of the bathroom choices that are still in great demand. This type of bathroom is generally always in wet or humid conditions because it is exposed to splashes of water from the shower or bath.
Along with the development of the times, there are also bathrooms that are made as dry as possible when used. Dry bathrooms generally use a show screen or glass separator to separate the shower from the toilet seat. And then, the splashes of water that come out only wet the shower area. Apart from the toilet, the dry area is usually also filled with a sink and a cabinet for storing toiletries.
Benefits of Having a Dry Bathroom
1. Healthier
Wet bathrooms can be a place for bacteria, viruses, and fungi to grow. Moreover, if the drainage system and bad air ventilation, the bathroom can become increasingly unhealthy. A dry bathroom will certainly minimize the occurrence of this problem because the wet area is limited by panels or glass so that germs and bacteria do not develop quickly.
2. Easier maintenance
Because dry bathrooms are rarely exposed to splashes of water, the maintenance required is easier. Dry bathrooms are certainly less prone to common problems, such as leaks, puddles, and rust. Dry bathrooms also tend to be easier to clean. It's enough just to sweep, mop, and wipe down the sink area to make it dry again.
3. Flexible with design
Dry bathrooms are more flexible to design. Why? Because dry areas that are not exposed to water can be given a touch of design or sweetener. For example, you can add a wide mat on the bathroom floor. You can also add a mirror to the sink or dressing table to make it look more luxurious.
4. Save water
If you use the shower, the use of water when bathing will be more efficient. In comparison, using a tub and dipper when bathing can consume around 18 liters per shower, while using a shower only consumes around 12 liters of water per bath. Moreover, many sanitary products are now equipped with water-saving features so that the use of water is much less.
5. Increase the selling value
Apart from the dining area, living room and master bedroom, the bathroom is also a highlight for selling the property. Dry bathrooms that are clean and have good air circulation will allow you to add to the selling value of a property.
Those are some of the advantages of dry bathrooms that you can consider when building or renovating a house.
