Your Perfect Walk in Shower Room

A spacious downstairs toilet or small second bathroom is great to have, but think about whether the space could work harder. Turning them into a wet room maximises their usefulness. A wet room is fully waterproofed, so you don’t need a shower tray, meaning you can squeeze everything into a smaller space.

A wet room is essentially a fully tanked, watertight bathroom without a bath or a shower cubicle. Instead, a shower head flows freely into the room which has a gentle gradient to drain away the water. This creates a complete open showering experience however you may wish to install a contemporary glass screen for a feeling of privacy or to prevent water splashing everywhere.

For years wetrooms were limited to ground floors and had to be sited on a concrete, or at least screeded, base. Innovations in wetroom products now make it possible to transform your upstairs bathroom into a fully sealed wetroom (or shower room).

Floors and walls can be tiled in modern contemporary stone or ceramics. Choosing the same wall and floor tiles in small spaces makes for the sleekest of looks while in larger bathrooms you can define areas with contrasting or small mosaic tiles.

Under floor heating can add pure luxury and accompanied with good ventilation is a must to allow the room to dry out adequately.
