The bathroom is one the busiest rooms in any home, but it does not have to be the least attractive. Even if a full bathroom remodel is a little out of your budget right now there are several ways you can use good old ceramic tile to give your dowdy bathroom an instant facelift. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Showers - Old tiled showers, that have cracks in the ceramic tiling, as well as grimy grout can ruin the way a bathroom looks. Replacing the old tile with one of the new ceramic tile options available these days is a quick and affordable solution to the problem though. These days there are a number of ceramic tile op tons designed for bathroom use that resist water and dirt as well as look good. Choosing one of them means less cleaning time for you as well as a nice "new" shower.
Sink Area - Sick of your blah and boring bathroom counter tops? Use ceramic tile to liven them up and add your own unique design stamp on the room. With all the ceramic tiling options available these days you are limited only by your own imagination. Want to really feel like you got a new bathroom overnight? Install a new sink bowl as well.
Walls - Many homeowners choose ceramic tiles for their bathroom walls and for good reason. Unlike painted bathroom walls those that are tiled are easy to keep clean and will not fade or peel. If a totally tiled bathroom sounds like too much of a good thing to you though simply installing a nice ceramic tile back splash can be just as effective.
Floors - Ceramic tile is of course one of the very best choices for bathroom flooring. Choosing ceramic tiling for your bathroom flooring means that hundreds of color and design options open up to you, allowing you to really expressive your creativity.

If you have recently been to the movies or a posh restaurant like the Red Lobster you would definitely have noticed the waterless urinals installed in their bathrooms. They are pretty much everywhere and you start noticing them. What might come as a surprise to you is that the proper technical names for these non-flushing urinal units are chemical toilets.
While initially developed to help provide necessary facilities to areas where septic tanks were not readily present, or where the water supply was severely limited, these chemical toilets are now being pushed as a part of a major water saving drive across the nation.
Some of the more than chemical toilets are very sophisticated in their design. One on the market today has a special mechanism which is capable of separating the chemical components of human waste from the chemical mix. It then recirculates that filtered water back into the toileting system.
The chemical toilet however, is not that dissimilar from a standard toilet. It still has an outlet below its base which holds the chemical mixture, and also helps in absorbing and breaking down the human waste. They also allow the odors to be masked. These type of toilets are common in rest rooms and bathrooms all around the world.
Some people have concerns about the maintenance and cleaning requirements of chemical toilets, but you can rest assured that these toilets are no more onerous than for a standard toilet set up. Regular filter changes and general cleaning of the area are all of these chemical toilets require on a day by day or week by week basis. In fact the filters sometimes last for months. They are a very hygienic and cost effective solution to modern commercial bathroom needs.
So if you're in the business of installing new toilets into your premises, you may well want to look at the waterless urinal and non-flush toilet systems which are available. You need to do a thorough cost analysis to see whether or not the savings that can be made on maintenance and upkeep will outweigh the additional purchase costs that there may be.
