Splash out on a wetroom
Modern, minimalistic and so practical and easy to clean
WET ROOMS are growing in popularity because they provide a safe and practical environment for anyone with mobility issues.
In addition, their sleek, minimalistic looks make them a must-have in modern homes and hotels.
A wet room is a completely waterproofed bathroom with a shower area at the same level as the rest of the floor.
The water drains through a flush or waste drain within the shower area.
The floor and all walls are sealed by a waterproof membrane, which means there is no risk of damage from water spreading beyond the shower area. A wet room is also easier to clean, as the entire floor and walls can be hosed down with a handheld shower head. But the benefits aren’t limited to the practical advantages.
A wet room can give your bathroom a vibrant, contemporary look while adding value to your home. For anyone with mobility issues, a specialised wet room enables a larger showering area to be created that will allow for easy wheelchair access and manoeuvrability. The continuous flooring presents none of the potential trip hazards of shower tray thresholds or steps. And a carer can assist without obstruction from a conventional shower cubicle, surround or door.
If required, a wet room can also be fitted with a carerheight shower screen to contain water spray while giving the carer accessibility from outside the direct showering area. To adapt an existing bathroom to a wet room, the floor is first profiled to create a gentle gradient leading to an integral floor drain outlet.
A completely sealed and waterproof layer is then placed over the floor and this is finished off with anti-slip vinyl flooring.
