How to design a sustainable bathroom
Can the desire for luxury and relaxation in the bathroom be combined with sustainability? The range of sustainable and ecological cosmetic products is now huge. But today, the entire bathroom can also be furnished sustainably. 5 tips for a sustainable bathroom.
1. quality instead of quantity
One of the main criteria for more sustainability is the conservation of our resources. Anyone who unnecessarily redecorates their bathroom is wasting resources. It is much better to take your time when choosing. In this way, you will end up choosing bathroom furniture and accessories that will be allowed to move in for the long term. These may then also be a little more expensive. Because often this also means a higher quality. And if the furnishings last for a long time, the price difference is hardly noticeable in the end.
2. Select sustainable bathroom brands.
Sustainability in the bathroom starts with the production of the furnishings. This allows you to check which materials are used, where production takes place, whether the brand saves energy and waste, and whether recycled materials are used – or whether they can be recycled later. Our mirror cabinets are largely made of recyclable materials. We are paying increasing attention to our planet and want to further optimize our processes in terms of sustainability by 2024.
3. focus on low-maintenance furnishings
This is a small detail, but one that can be easily implemented for everyone. Lots of decor and other furnishings that get dirty quickly require more frequent cleaning. More frequent cleaning, in turn, requires more detergent and a higher use of water. So cleaning-phobes should be pleased to know that there are now a variety of options that make caring for the bathroom easier. These range from rimless WCs and bathroom cabinets that make everything obviously standing around disappear to ceramics with a lotus effect.
Our mirror cabinets offer a large volume of storage space. Bathroom utensils can easily disappear and collect considerably less dust. Less dirt equals less aggressive cleaning agents. In addition, closed doors offer a hygienic advantage that sensitive bathroom products are not constantly exposed to the “public”.
For example, the SIDLER Cubango : https://www.sidler.swiss/en/cubango/
4. focus on energy saving technologies
Water is the main resource used in the bathroom day after day. On average, we use about 40 liters for the daily shower alone. Reducing water consumption in the bathroom therefore makes a major contribution to sustainability. The best way to do this is to use faucets in the shower and at the sink that are already produced in a water-saving way. High-quality products allow less water to pass through without compromising showering pleasure.
But energy can also be saved when it comes to lighting in the bathroom: LED lighting, such as that installed in our mirror cabinets, can also save energy in the bathroom. Did you know that we develop our own LEDs and especially focus on energy saving? In addition, you can replace our LEDs. Thus, the repair is very resource-saving and the SIDLER illuminated mirror cabinet ready for use again in no time.
5. space saving
If you are in the process of planning the bathroom for your apartment or house, you can make it more sustainable by choosing the right size. After all, less space ultimately saves resources and energy. For example, if they only bathe a few times a year, the question is whether you need a bathtub at all.
Well thought-out planning alone saves a lot of space. So even the smallest bathroom can become a place of relaxation. For all small bathrooms we have here the suitable light mirror cabinet: SIDLER Arnea https://www.sidler.swiss/en/arnea/
