To redecorate or remodel a bathroom, ideas are needed, and current trends should be studied. This chapter is but sampling of the changes occurring in bathrooms, and later chapters will provide more detailed information.
It should be noted that fiberglass as a material in bathrooms is coming into its own, and in the not-too-distant future more and more fiberglass will be used in bathrooms.
Most fiberglass fixtures at present are found in the shower and tub area, but some water closets and lavatories are being manufactured from fiberglass-reinforced plastic. Many model homes in suburban tracts are showing fiberglass fixtures in the bathroom.
More carpeting is being used in bathrooms, and more different kinds of materials are being used for walls and flooring.
Cultured marble, made from crushed stones and resins, is being used to produce glamorous Roman-like bathrooms.
Entire walls are being constructed of this material, which virtually eliminates moisture damage to wall surface.
