Wet Rooms

A wet room is a type of bathroom with a fully open waterproof design where the shower area is integrated directly into the room, meaning there’s no need for a separate shower tray or enclosure. The floor and walls are fully waterproofed to prevent water damage, and the entire space is designed to handle water exposure. Usually, you'll find the floor has a slight slope to allow for proper drainage. Wet rooms are popular for their modern, sleek appearance and are especially ideal for easy accessibility, making them a great choice for individuals with mobility concerns.

To install a wet room, start by making sure the entire space, including the floors and walls, is properly waterproofed. This is done by applying a waterproof membrane to prevent any leaks. Next, create a gentle slope in the floor that leads to a central drain to ensure water flows smoothly. Once that's sorted, cover the area with waterproof materials like tiles or vinyl. Install a floor-level drain, and make sure all edges and joints are sealed tightly. Good ventilation, like an extractor fan, is key to avoiding moisture buildup. Before finishing up, test the waterproofing and drainage to make sure everything works perfectly.
