Plumbing Trends: Staying up-to-date on plumbing trends can help you be prepared for any changes in bathroom/kitchen designs. Plumbers need to get involved with these projects by understanding users’ needs. Plumbing companies must be ready to meet the needs of customers. This includes understanding trends and providing a service that meets those needs.

Here are five trends to know in 2022:

Baby boomer interest in aging-in-place design

Baby boomers are people who were born during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Their age ranges from 58-to 76 years old now. Boomers are getting older but want to continue living in their homes for longer. Boomers are trying to ensure access to the bathroom and kitchen when they need to use them. Older people want to be independent and not rely on others to help them get around. Boomers think about what needs to happen when someone wants to go to the bathroom or kitchen. For example, there should be grab bars for people using the toilet and easy to reach. Baby boomers are renovating their houses because they know having these features in their houses will allow them to be more independent.

Linear drains are currently used mostly to connect two rooms. Inexpensive grab bars are now made to be installed along walls in bathrooms. Shower enclosures with built-in seats and mirrors are designed with less depth than before. Curbless doorways allow for wider entrances and increased flexibility in using the space. Tiles are growing larger and using more variety of colors and textures.

Remodeling to create a “forever home.”

Homeowners of all ages seek to make their current homes forever homes. They want to turn their houses into places where they can stay longer. People also want to do renovation projects themselves due to COVID-19 restrictions. Bathroom and kitchen renovations are becoming increasingly popular because people are investing more money into renovating their houses. Remodeling includes features such as free-standing tubs and heated floors. People love having multiple bathroom improvements, like low-carb showers and multiple showerheads.

Creating a spa-like atmosphere

These amenities include steam showers, deep soaking tubs, and voice-activated voice-operated smart devices. Bathroom amenities have become very popular during the Covid-19 pandemic.
