Bathrooms & Wetrooms
What is a wet room
Before we get started, let’s cover what a wet room actually is. A wet room is a completely waterproofed or tanked bathroom with a shower area at the same level as the rest of the bathroom floor. The floor in a wet room is usually sloped in the direction of a drain, so that water drains away. Some wet rooms have no enclosure whatsoever, while others have a glass shower screen to prevent water splashing outside the shower area.
Benefits of having a wetroom
Installing a wet room is an incredibly stylish way to adapt a bathroom. Not only does it give a more freeing shower experience by removing constricting shower cubicles, but it can also make a lot more space and they are generally easier to clean.
If your home has a smaller, second bathroom, you can even add value to your house by converting that second bathroom into a wet room. However, think carefully before turning your main bathroom into a wet room as you may regret doing away with a bath, especially if you’re eventually going to be looking to move.
The vast majority of buyers will want at least one bath in the house.
In the past, wet rooms were really only deemed suitable for ground floor bathrooms with solid concrete floors, but advancements in the converting methods has meant that pretty much any bathroom can become a wet room with the installation of a waterproof subfloor. Here we look at the vital factors to consider before starting to build a wet room.
