Bathroom Trivia A bathroom is a room that may have different functions depending on the cultural context it is used in. In its literal sense it means 'a room with a bath', but as bathtubs have partly made way for showers and steam showers, the more general sense of 'a room where one bathes' makes more sense. There can be just a shower or just a bathtub or both, sometimes combined and sometimes separate (in which case the bathtub may have a second shower). Usually, it also contains a handbasin or sink and often also a toilet. In the USA, 'bathroom' commonly means 'a room containing a toilet' (in other countries this is usually called 'toilet' or alternatively 'water closet' (or 'WC'), or 'lavatory'). For this interpretation of the word see bathroom (American). If a bathroom facility is attached to a bedroom it is often known as an en-suite or if it's attached to a master bedroom it's known as a master bathroom. A half (1/2) bath contains a toilet and a handbasin (lavatory). A 3/4 bath contains a toilet, a handbasin (lavatory) and a shower. A full bath contains a toilet, a handbasin (lavatory) and a bathtub. |

Design considerations The design of a bathroom must account for the use of both hot and cold water, in significant quantities, for cleaning the human body. Disposal of the water usually leads to a sewer or septic tank. Water may be splashed on the walls and floor and hot humid air may cause condensation on cold surfaces. From a decorating point of view the bathroom presents a challenge. Ceiling, wall and floor materials and coverings should be impervious to water and readily and easily cleaned. The use of ceramic or glass, as well as smooth plastic materials, is common in bathrooms for their ease of cleaning. However, such surfaces are often cold to the touch and so water-resistant bath mats or even bathroom carpets may be used on the floor to make the room more comfortable. Alternatively, the floor may be heated, possibly by startegically placing heater conduits close to the surface. Electrical appliances, such as lights, heaters and heated towel rails generally need to be installed as fixtures, with permanent connections rather than plugs and sockets. This minimises the risk of electric shock. Ground-fault circuit interruptor electrical sockets can reduce the risk of electric shock, and are required for bathroom socket installation by electrical and building codes in the United States and Canada. In some countries, such as the UK, only special sockets suitable for electric shavers are permitted in bathrooms, and are labelled as such. Bathrooms can also be a source of decorative inspiration. One can easily decorate the bathroom by choosing shower curtains or cubicles to match a theme. |

Choosing a Furnace Humidifier
While everyone longs for a white winter, the problems associated with dry winter air can be unpleasant. Low humidity can dry out our skin, our mucous membranes, and our nasal passages. It can also cause undue drying of the wooden structures of our home. What's more, our well-intentioned efforts to heat our cold, wintry space often make the problem even worse by removing any moisture remaining in the air. This causes nosebleeds, cough, sore throat, and more. A humidifier can help alleviate many of the problems associated with dry air. Humidifiers work by sending moisture into circulation in the air, raising the humidity level. Tabletop humidifiers are good choices for humidifying a small space, such as a nursery or bedroom. Console humidifiers are larger and are effective for humidifying multiple rooms or small apartments. For humidifying large spaces or a whole house, however, it is much more cost-effective to use a whole house humidifier. These generally attach to either the air-conditioning or heating system and circulate moisture throughout the entire home. Furnace humidifiers, as the name suggests, are connected to the furnace system. It is installed in the ducts and works with your home's heating and cooling system to humidify your entire house. A furnace humidifier uses your home's water system. With prices starting around $100, furnace humidifiers are initially more expensive than the other models. However, they are more energy efficient and cost less to operate over the long haul. Annual maintenance costs, including filter changes, run from $2 to $30. When purchasing a furnace humidifier, look for a model than has a humidistat. This will allow you to set the desired humidity lever. When that level is reached, the humidifier will shut off. This feature is important as it helps avoid the problem of over-humidifying. As with other types of humidifiers, your furnace humidifier will need to be cleaned and disinfected according to the manufacturer's instructions. Failure to follow the instructions can lead to the growth of mold and bacteria. These would then be sent circulating through your home. Humidifiers Info provides detailed information on house, furnace, cigar, and ultrasonic humidifiers, as well as humidifier filters and product reviews. Humidifiers Info is the sister site of Dehumidifiers Web.
