Why choose Avenir Renovations?
Why renovate or fit out your bathroom?
The bathroom is one of the most used rooms on a daily basis. Over time, it can become outdated, non-functional, or poorly adapted to the current needs of the occupants. Whether for aesthetic, safety, or comfort reasons, renovating your bathroom is often a wise choice.
Adapting the bathroom to your needs and lifestyle
Needs evolve over the years, just like the composition of your household. An accessible shower, a double sink unit, or a bathtub for the children can make all the difference.
Making your bathroom more functional and secure helps optimize your daily life. This is particularly crucial for the elderly or people with reduced mobility, who require specific adaptations.
Enhancing your property value
Renovating a bathroom can significantly increase the value of your home. In the context of a sale, a modern and well-fitted water room can tip the scales in the buying decision.
A quality fit-out, carried out with durable materials, is an investment that appeals to both buyers and real estate experts.

What materials to choose for a durable and aesthetic bathroom?
The choice of materials plays a central role in the durability and aesthetics of your bathroom. In Switzerland, where humidity and temperature fluctuations can be significant, prioritizing resistant and easy-to-maintain materials is essential.
Tiling and wall coverings
Tiling remains the most favored material for its waterproofing, resistance, and ease of maintenance. There is a wide variety of formats, textures, and colors for a modern or classic finish.
Alternatives like wall panels or waterproof coatings are also gaining popularity for their quick installation and contemporary style.
Floors suitable for wet rooms
For the floor, non-slip tiling is highly recommended. Other options like polished concrete, vinyl, or waterproof laminate also offer aesthetic and secure solutions.
The choice of flooring must take safety into account, especially for children or the elderly.
Furniture and equipment resistant to humidity
Bathroom furniture must be designed to withstand water and steam. Materials like treated wood, waterproof MDF, tempered glass, or aluminum are perfectly suited.
When it comes to faucets and sanitary ware, it is important to invest in recognized brands to ensure the longevity of the installations.
What regulations govern bathroom fit-out in Switzerland?
Like any interior renovation project, bathroom fit-out is subject to certain rules in Switzerland. Compliance with standards ensures the safety, conformity, and durability of the work carried out.
Technical standards and compliance with Swiss standards
The work must comply with Swiss SIA (Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects) standards regarding construction, electricity, and plumbing. These standards particularly regulate electrical installations in wet areas, heights of outlets, and wastewater disposal.
Entrusting your project to a company like Avenir Renovations Switzerland guarantees strict adherence to these requirements.
Permits and declarations according to the cantons
Depending on the nature of the work and the canton in which you reside, a building permit may be necessary. This is particularly the case for creating bathrooms in spaces not originally intended for that purpose or for significant modifications to the structure.
Our teams assist you with all administrative procedures with the municipal or cantonal authorities.
Compliance with accessibility standards
In the context of a fit-out for people with reduced mobility, it is necessary to follow Swiss SIA 500 standards regarding accessibility. This particularly concerns the dimensions of the shower, the height of sinks, or the maneuvering space for wheelchairs.
We help you design a bathroom that is compliant, comfortable, and accessible to all.
Are there financial aids for bathroom fit-out?
In Switzerland, certain bathroom fit-out works may benefit from financial or tax support, depending on their nature and purpose.
Tax deductions for renovation work
Works aimed at improving energy efficiency or maintaining a property in good condition can be deducted from your taxable income, according to the tax rules in force in your canton.
Bathroom fit-out works are often considered maintenance investments and can be deducted in certain cases.
Aids for PMR fit-outs
Compensation funds (AI/AVS) or certain social insurances may finance all or part of the adaptation works for bathrooms for elderly or disabled persons.
This includes, for example, replacing a bathtub with a shower, installing grab bars, or creating a level access.
Cantonal or municipal programs
Some municipalities or cantons offer subsidies for ecological renovations or accessibility adaptations. We help you identify the available aids in your area and compile the necessary files.
