Using Recycled Bathroom Fixtures Saves Money
This might not sound like the best way to save money,
especially if you're planning on remodeling your bathroom. Especially if
you would like your bathroom to look new, so how can you save any money,
by using recycled bathroom fixtures.
You're probably not going to hear me talking about faucets, but almost
every other part of a bathroom, can be reused and recycled. Let's start
with the bathtubs. Bathtubs can be refinished, or simply cleaned up. A
cast-iron bathtub, is usually an extremely durable product and I would
imagine, if you found an old one, and the price was right, you could
save yourself a few dollars.
Now I'm not talking about the cheaper bathroom cabinets, that are
assembled after you purchase them from IKEA or your local home
improvement center, I'm talking about solid wood bathroom cabinets. I'm
talking about cabinets made from Oak, Maple, or even cherry woods.
If you're interested in saving money, but don't mind putting a little
bit of your own hard work into refinishing or simply cleaning up these
products, you could find yourself in bathroom recycle heaven.
Keep this in mind, the next time you're thinking about purchasing an
expensive cast-iron bathtub, cabinets, mirrors and even tile. There are
plenty of architectural salvage places popping up all over the United
States, as demand continues to grow for their products.
