How To Install A TV In Your Bathroom

Writer David Wilson

Let’s imagine you’re resting in a nice bath with candles, bubbles, and perhaps a drink. You don’t have to take those inconvenient TV breaks, risk spoilers by being behind everyone else, or avoid watching TV because you don’t have the time any longer. A TV in the bathroom appears to be a viable option. The desire for bathrooms with televisions has continuously increased over time as a trend. In the same manner that you may have an electrical towel heater, bathroom lighting, and an LED mirror, you can have a television in your bathroom.

However, like with anything electrical, it must be carefully evaluated in conjunction with the room’s size, location, and ventilation, as well as strict safety standards. Furthermore, the television must be waterproof, and some companies specialize in this that few people are aware of. With the rise of tablet and mobile usage, and streaming content available at the touch of a finger, it appears that the demand for a bathroom television has already been met. Statistics, on the other hand, contradict this idea.

Even though over 43 million people had access to a tablet in the third quarter of 2020, viewing figures for the most-watched programs on a tablet or mobile-only reached around 75-90,000 people, according to the Broadcasters Audience Research Board (BARB), which measures and tracks audience and TV ratings. Netflix has also revealed that linked TV accounts for 70% of its viewership rather than mobile devices. So, whether you’re happy with a modest screen or simply like a moment to meditate, reflect, and wash in silence, a bathroom TV may not be necessary. If you do want to relax with a device, you’ll have to deal with the reality that holding it or using it around the bathtub could cause water damage unless you invest in a bath rack that can balance a tablet. This is likely to result in lasting harm, making it a costly mistake.
