Eco-Friendly Bathroom Remodel: Save Water & Energy

Sustainability and reducing energy use are becoming a bigger priority every day for property owners. Bay State Bath is here to help with eco-friendly bathroom remodel ideas for MA, RI, and Southern NH homeowners looking to incorporate environmentally friendly plans into bathroom renovations. Here are some smart upgrades that conserve water, reduce energy use, and promote a healthier home.

Install Water-Saving Shower Heads

Traditional shower heads use about 2.5 gallons of water per minute (GPM) while some inefficient models use up to 5 GPM. By switching to a water-saving model with built-in aerators or flow restrictors, you can reduce that to 2 gallons per minute or less, without sacrificing comfort. Aerators mix air with water to create a fuller spray, while restrictors limit flow for efficient use. It’s a simple change during a bath remodel that can significantly lower your water usage and bill.

Upgrade to Water-Saving Faucets

Sink faucets may not use as much water as showers, but still contribute to daily waste. Modern faucets with aerators reduce water flow while maintaining pressure, helping you save every time you wash your hands or brush your teeth.

Choose Dual-Flush Toilets

Toilets account for nearly 30% of household water use. Dual-flush models allow you to control how much water is used depending on the type of waste. They offer a low-volume flush for liquid waste and a higher-volume flush for solids. If your current toilet is still in good shape, consider a water-saving kit to retrofit it for better efficiency.

Switch to Energy-Efficient Lighting

Lighting is another area where small changes can have a major impact. LED bulbs use up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last much longer. Whether you’re updating vanity lighting or overhead fixtures, LEDs are a wise, eco-conscious choice for an energy-efficient bathroom.

Use Durable, Non-Toxic Materials

Bay State Bath proudly installs acrylic bath products that are stylish, durable, and environmentally responsible. Cured acrylic doesn’t emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or harmful chemicals, making it an excellent green bathroom design choice for your family. Plus, its long lifespan means fewer replacements and less landfill waste.

Improve Ventilation

Proper ventilation helps maintain a healthy bathroom environment by reducing humidity and preventing mold and mildew. Use exhaust fans and crack windows when possible to circulate fresh air. Doing this protects your bathroom surfaces and improves indoor air quality.
