A Walk-In Bathroom Renovation Tailored for Vermont
This Vermont bathroom had not seen any changes in the last 25 years, as was evident from the bathroom’s condition. The shower-bath combination was worn out, the arrangement was outdated, and the presence of asbestos made it necessary to start with a full and proper removal before conducting any remodelling.
The homeowners wanted to have a modern and clean bathroom with a walk-in shower: no bath, no elements, using up extra space.
The design is based on a preformed shower platform that has a tiled and framed glass enclosure. Bottle-green feature tiles set the tone for the room. A floating vanity in Florentine Walnut Woodmatt sits beneath a fresh white Caesarstone Snow benchtop. The warm walnut cabinetry serves as a contrast to soothing bottle-green tiles and a fresh white Caesarstone top that make this room look modern but not outdated: just what the bathroom needs for the next 25 years of service.
What makes this bathroom work:
- Full demolition and licensed asbestos removal completed before renovation began.
- Worn shower-bath combination replaced with a walk-in shower on a preformed base.
- Framed glass enclosure with a tiled ledge inside for everyday storage.
- Floating vanity in Florentine Walnut Woodmatt with a 20 mm Caesarstone Snow benchtop
- Soft-close Blum Merivobox drawers and hinges throughout
- GROHE Bauedge tapware and Mizu Drift overhead shower, all in chrome
