Wet Rooms

No luxury bathroom is complete without stylish, minimalist showers and wet rooms. Many customers are swapping the traditional enclosed showering area for the chance to have their own sleek, open, walk-in showering space, which enhances their daily routine. With so many wet room ideas available, you are truly spoilt for choice.

What Is A Bathroom Wet Room?

A wet room is a waterproof space created at floor level to make an open showering space. Unlike a walk-in shower, which typically has a shower tray and partial enclosure, a wet room is completely open and fully waterproofed. Very popular in modern homes, wet rooms can be fitted on any level of the house with floors fully sealed by a waterproof membrane to prevent water leaks and damage to the floor or the room below. Due to their flat, level floors they are especially beneficial for the elderly or those with mobility issues. Having an accessible shower area to maintain personal hygiene can significantly improve an individual's quality of life and promote independence. The water drains away via a gradual slope in the floor to a flush to the floor shower drain. A fully tiled room eliminates the need for a glass panel; however, one is often installed to ensure the water stays in the designated showering area.

Wet Room Showers Panels

Our range of high quality wetroom panels are available in many colours, sizes and glass thicknesses. Wet room showers offer a practical solution and accessible showering option. With colours like Chrome, Black, Brass, Bronze, Gunmetal and more, you will surely find the perfect finishing touch to your bathroom design. Due to the minimalist style and lack of tracks or hinges, our wetroom panels are easier to maintain than enclosures or shower doors. You get to spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your showers with their open plan style that are easier accessible to all members of the family. Paired with coordinating accessories and fixtures, you can create a beautifully harmonised theme throughout your bathroom.

Our wetroom panels are made from high quality materials and toughened safety glass, with thicknesses of 6mm, 8mm or 10mm. In the unlikely event that the glass breaks, it will form small blunt chunks as opposed to long sharp shards. The glass is often coated with a clean and clear glass treatment which repels soap scum, making them much easier to keep clean.

What are the Benefits Of A Wet Room?

Wetrooms are known for their easy access. A wet room utilises the bathroom floor as the shower surface, while a walk-in shower includes a shower tray. Creating a stylish, modern, and functional space will add value to your home and be a helpful investment in your future when it may be more trouble to step into and out of a bath. Removing an unused bath will increase valuable floor space, making it easier to move around comfortably. Wetrooms can be installed on any floor of the house, whether you want to transform an unused attic or garage into a useful living space, it's possible as long as you have the correct waterproofing, ventilation and drainage.

Installing Your Wet Room

Installing a wet room requires careful planning to ensure a safe and functional space.

• Hire a professional: Consider hiring a professional to install the wet room, especially if you're not experienced with bathroom renovations. This ensures that the installation is done correctly and safely.
• Waterproofing: Ensure the bathroom floor and walls are fully sealed to prevent leaks. Proper waterproofing is crucial to avoid damage to the floor and the room below.
• Drainage: Install a suitable drainage system to prevent water accumulation. A well-designed drainage system ensures that water flows away efficiently, keeping the wet room dry and safe.
• Maintenance: Regularly clean and maintain the wet room to prevent soap scum and mildew buildup. Using products designed for wet rooms can make maintenance easier and keep your space looking pristine.
• Non-slip flooring: Install non-slip flooring to prevent slips and falls, ensuring a safe shower experience for everyone.
• Grab bars: Install grab bars to provide support and balance, especially for the elderly or those with mobility issues.
• Shower seats: Install a shower seat to provide a safe and comfortable place to sit, making the wet room more accessible.
• Easy access: Design the wet room with easy access in mind, including a wide entrance and a low threshold. This makes it easier for everyone to use the wet room comfortably and safely.
