It’s time to update your cottage living!

Ah, the family cottage. The perfect getaway for relaxing and enjoying warm weather activities with friends and family. It’s bursting with memories of summer vacations and weekend adventures, but it may also be filled with unfinished projects, outdated furniture, and in desperate need of a renovation. Modernizing the old family cottage isn’t just about bringing it into the twenty-first century. It’s about making it comfortable and better suited to your lifestyle. Whether you use your cottage year-round or during the summer months only, living at the cottage shouldn’t mean that you have to sacrifice any of the comforts of home. This Spring, it’s time to update your cottage living with inspiration from Saniflo®.
Your cottage is your second home, so you want it to be comfortable, usable and enjoyable – your escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life. But, when it comes time to renovate, cottages pose a challenge. For example, many older cottages use out-dated plumbing, which may now pose a risk of clogging, corrosion, and damage from tree roots. Another problem is that the terrain where your cottage is located can affect what type of installations you may benefit from. For instance, if your cottage is built on rock this will limit your building options, especially if you need to dig down to install new plumbing.
Plumbing renovations are often costly, time consuming and challenging at the cottage, however, Saniflo’s range of plumbing systems are a great solution to these issues. With Saniflo, you can easily add desirable amenities to your cottage, like a full-piece bathroom, laundry room, outdoor kitchen or bar, or pool house plumbing, all without major construction. The secret? Up-flush technology.

Environmentally friendly, simple to install and offering a variety of solutions, Saniflo’s up-flush toilet and grey-water pump systems can be installed anywhere from basement to attic, regardless of the availability of traditional plumbing drainage infrastructure. Saniflo systems pump wastewater horizontally up to 150 feet away with gravity fall, and up to 18 feet vertically. These macerating and grinding technology systems use small-diameter piping that can be run virtually anywhere and can be installed above-floor or concealed within a wall with minimal construction in just a few short hours. Never before has adding a new bathroom or laundry room to your cottage been so easy!
Saniflo provides a wide array of hassle-free, cost-effective renovation possibilities for cottagers no matter the situation. The Saniaccess® 3 is the most advanced macerator in the world and is perfect for installing a full bathroom in a cottage, especially in situations where you can’t drill down below the bedrock. For a laundry room install, the compact Saniswift® drain pump can handle the wastewater from a washing machine with a laundry sink connection. 


The best part of getting away to the cottage is being able to spend time outdoors enjoying the warm weather. Adding a few entertainment features, such as an outdoor kitchenette or bar to this favourite hang-out spot will enhance your enjoyment and provide the perfect complement to your cottage’s outdoor living space. And you can finally build that pool house you’ve always wanted so that kids and guests have a dedicated area for changing out of wet bathing suits or rinsing off from the pool. Whether you want to install a sink, toilet or shower, with Saniflo, it’s easy to add the necessary plumbing fixtures required to have the ultimate outdoor entertaining space.
So, if winter blizzards have you dreaming of your perfect cottage renovation, check out Saniflo to learn how you can make those dreams for a new bathroom, kitchen or laundry a reality.
