Wet room shower enclosures: advantages & considerations.

Wet room shower enclosures, also referred to as “Wet rooms” are becoming more and more desirable. They’re also a great way to add value to your home.

Wet rooms are basically bathrooms that offer a fully tiled, waterproofed shower area. When deciding on installing a wet room, it is important to ensure that you use professionals to design and install this for you.  Water drainage and the best waterproofing over the entire floor area is critical to ensuring no hidden problems with your bathroom.

Advantages:

  • The latest trend, very classy and adds great value to your home.
  • Makes better use of space in smaller bathrooms – removes the bulky and clumsy shower structures to create space.
  • Easier to clean, offering a more hygienic solution.  No difficult areas to clean where grime can build up.
  • The accuracy in waterproofing is generally much more efficient and effective than standard bathroom builds. This offers better protection against damp or mould issues.

Considerations:

  • To be really effective you need to tile your wet room from floor to ceiling
  • For small bathrooms, consider placing a glass fixed panel to help keep the splashings in control and avoid wetting your towels
  • Use waterproofing experts to make sure this is done correctly and code compliant in order to avoid problems down the line

It is recommended to install undertile heating in your wet room as the heat generated from the floor will speed up the drying time, which once again makes it easier to keep clean and mould free.

Warmup Waterproofed Shower Systems

  • We use stain-resistant grout for the tiling as this will not only prevent the floor from looking dirty but will help keep your bathroom clean and hygienic
  • Bathrooms are waterproofed with weldable sheet membrane and enclosures custom-built using 10mm glass
  • Installation – entire bathroom completely waterproofed and ready-to-tile over within 24 hours
