Wet Rooms and Walk-In Showers

A Wet Room can be a fantastic way to help create a stylish, contemporary and practical Bathroom. One of the major advantages of a Wet Room area is the flexibility to change the size, depending on your room. The exclusion of a shower tray allows you to customize your own showering area with the use of fixed glass panels. It also makes it a safer way for lesser able people to shower, while still having a very contemporary look. When creating your Wet Room area, consider Frameless Enclosures. These will give your bathroom a minimalist, open feel, while also having a very modern, stylish appearance.


There are important points to consider if you go for a Wet Room set up. In particular drainage in the room, as well as under floor heating.


If you want to create the contemporary look and style of a Wet Room, but can't accommodate the under-tile tray there are some options. Many Manufacturers produce raised Wet Room Kits, which come in a variety of heights and sizes. You can choose from a small lip around the showering area, up to a large step into the enclosure.


A cheaper alternative to a Wet Room area is a Walk-In Shower with tray. These come with their own low profile shower tray, meaning there is no need to waterproof the rest of the room. These shower trays are often very shallow, meaning like the Wet Room it gives a very stylish, minimalist feel.
