From curling irons to hair dryers, the
electrical outlets in your bathroom may easily become a giant mess of
tangled cords. Increase the safety and organization of items in your
bathroom with the installation of outlet upgrades.
An electrician has the ability to
upgrade your outlets to feature all kinds of options and designs to
help fit in with your daily bathroom use. Learn about the various
outlet locations and features to help increase the safety of your
bathroom and prevent any problems.
Bathroom Drawer Outlets
A standard outlet may be located right
next to a sink or vanity in a bathroom and is not often the most
ideal location. As an alternative to constantly exposing the various
plugs and outlets, you have the option to install bathroom drawer
outlets.
The outlet installation not only
increases the number of plugs in your bathroom, but creates a safer
way to organize various bathroom accessories you plug in. For
example, the drawer may hold a hair dryer. Simply pull out the
drawer, plug the hair dryer in, and use the accessory without the
need to extend cords across the whole sink or counter.
Each drawer in the bathroom may feature
an outlet installation so you do not need to worry about mixing up
cords. The organization will make daily routines easier as you know
which drawer and outlet gets assigned to various devices like a hair
straightener, electric brush, or a hair dryer.
Pop-Out Outlets
The mix of water and outlets always
presents safety concerns, but there are ways to help increase safety
while continuing the use of your wall outlets. An electrician may
upgrade the outlets on your walls to popout outlets.
The outlets feature a flat surface and
are even with the walls. When the center gets pushed in, the outlet
pops out and a plug input appears on each side. The outlet is easy to
operate and goes hidden from view when not in use.
Not only does the pop-out outlet
provide enhanced safety features, but the outlet adds a sleek design
to many bathrooms. The outlet color may be chosen to match the
backsplash or wallpaper design within the bathroom.
Recessed Floor Outlets
When you use the bathroom, there may be
a variety of items you want to use on the floor. For example, you
could quickly increase the heat of a bathroom with a space heater.
You may also have a towel warming rack that has to plug in.
A recessed floor outlet provides a safe
solution for your outlet needs. The outlet is placed multiple inches
within a recessed hole and comes with a cover to place over the
outlet when not in use. The floor outlet panel helps prevent the need
to extend long cords across the bathroom floor. The long cords could
create a tripping hazard.
Bathroom Cabinet Outlets
Many people own items which need to
stay plugged in or get charged on a daily basis. The items include
electric toothbrushes and razors. As an alternative to just sprawling
the items across bathroom counters, an electrician can install
outlets directly inside a bathroom cabinet.
The bathroom cabinet outlets will save
counter space and prevent further problems when too many cords get
all tangled on the bathroom counter. One or two outlets in the
cabinet should be more than enough so the cabinet itself does not
become a tangled mess of cords either.
Organization is an important aspect of
bathroom safety. The more organized you are, the fewer problems may
occur in the future.
