Three Things to Consider When Buying Granny Flat Bathrooms
Granny flats are an increasingly popular addition to many suburban homes in South Africa, especially when you are looking to create extra living space on your property, or you are in need of extra room. The granny flat is a completely self-contained home built on the same land that you own. It can be equipped with a granny flat bathroom, kitchen and laundry, supplying the occupant with their own water and electricity supply.
From a business perspective, granny flats are great for those in search of an additional income, as they can rent the unit out to a tenant. For homes with multiple generations occupying the same land, it is a great option to provide parents with the independence of their own space, while keeping them close enough so they help out and you can still look after them; at the same time, you and the kids enjoy your own space in the main dwelling.
Granny flats are not meant to be large dwellings. At most, the unit provides a separate bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and lounge area. If you want more, it becomes more of a Wendy house rather than a granny flat. The whole idea behind this type of flat is to provide a complete living space while occupying the least amount of space. It is because of this that you need to be extremely efficient with how you use the available space. Let us take a closer look at some of the features to demand from a modern and fully self-contained granny flat bathroom.
#1 Space – Maximise The Space that You have Available
Any granny flat bathroom needs to be fully self-contained and maximise the space that is dedicated to the bathroom area. This means that its design should make it possible to get the most from that space. The sink, for instance, can be mounted on a vanity case, providing you with greater storage for cleaning materials, towels, toiletries and other bathroom essentials.
You can either opt for a bath or shower unit in the bathroom, and save more space that way. Use floatable shelves that offer stylish storage solutions. Some homeowners prefer investing in a granny flat bathroom that features a built-in geyser drip tray, which also houses all plumbing as well as the geyser and cistern. It is all about maximising the amount of space you have to work with, while catering for all the essential elements associated with the bathroom’s inner workings.
#2 Budget – Getting the Best Value for Money
With the increasing popularity of granny flats and their associated bathrooms and kitchens, you do not have to search everywhere for suppliers. It is up to you to ensure that you are dealing with true industry professionals capable of delivering on their promises. Dealing with larger suppliers not only provides you with the benefits of economies of scale, but you are also assured of the best service and excellent workmanship.
#3 Quality – Demand the Best
Do not compromise on the quality of your granny flat bathroom. As most homeowners know, the bathroom and kitchen of a property greatly influence the overall value of the home. So, demand the best quality for your money, and look forward to enjoying years of comfortable and reliable service from your new and beautiful granny flat bathroom.
