Tools for Bathroom Renovation
For Bathroom Renovation, you’ll need quite a variety of tools.( Wall and floor tiling will be covered in other sections.) We’ll start with Demolition tools and dedicate this page to them. You can click through to Tiling Tools at any time. The links to them are at the bottom of the page.
If your removing old tiles, Fibre Cement, Plaster, or doing the odd DIY renovating, a Hammer is the first tool you’ll reach for.
With Hammers there are a few TIPS you need to know.
Make sure your new hammer won’t slip off the what it strikes. Most new tools will have a coating to protect them. The coating will make them slippery. Rub the striking face with sandpaper or on concrete to give it a scratched finish. You’ll find that you won’t bend nails as much, or slip off and damage the surface your securing. Hammers also come in a variety of weights. Get one that you feel is comfortable. They range from 16oz to 24oz. in 2oz increments.
A good screwdriver will help to remove doors, vanities, mirrors, towel rails and shower screens. Remember to use one that fits snugly into the screw head. This is especially true for flat screwdrivers. Inappropriate use will damage the screws, or worse, damage the surface of your new fitting. Your makeover will last much longer if it is put together right. Changing your bathroom design will be easier with the right tools
