When it comes to bathroom designing, homeowners are interested in expressing their individuality and sense of style. They consider and evaluate everything - the color of the walls, doors, mirrors, lights and even the most basic of accessories.
But are these the only things that we should consider in our bathrooms?
Here at Wilcon, aside from the unique design, functionality and comfort, the safety of your family is our top priority.
As expected, small children loves to wander around in every room of the house trying to discover new things.



Install a hook-and-eye lock high-up on the door and keep it latched when you're not using the bathroom.
Install toilet locks. These prevent young children from lifting the toilet lid.

 
   

  Keep all medications including antacids, iron pills, cosmetics
  and mouthwash (which has more alcohol than wine does) -
  safely out-of-reach.

 



Don't keep anything plugged in near the bathtub water conducts electricity, so if a hairdryer falls in while you're giving your child a bath, it could electrocute you both

Remove sharp utensils and appliances from the bathroom. Razors, scissors and blow dryers are better kept in an adults' bedroom or high-up in a linen closet well out of a child's reach

 

  See hot water heaters no higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
  A lower temperature helps ensure safe bathing by reducing
  the chance of scalding (it takes just 3 Seconds for a child to
  get burned).
