Installing Wet Room Shower Tray



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. The simplicity and minimal appearance of an elegant wet room can be deceiving. Achieving such an immaculate finish while meeting the practical demands required by the design calls for exceptional precision and attention to detail.

Of course wet rooms are, by their very nature, wet, which means there are a few things to consider when planning one to make sure it doesn’t end up being slippery, leaky or cold. Getting the tanking right is vital to stop water seeping into other rooms, which can be costly and disruptive. Adequate drainage and ventilation are also a must. Tankingl, or waterproofing, a wetroom is one of the most important areas to get right. Your subfloor will have a bearing on the product you use. With concrete floors, you only typically need a thin membrane to prevent any leaks; these are generally thin self-adhesive products. For timber floors, a thicker membrane is required to prevent leaks and incorporate decoupling properties. These too are self-adhesive so you can start tiling as soon as you finish laying it.

Waterproofing and drainage is incredibly important in a wet room. The entire room needs to be waterproofed as even though there will be more water in some areas than others, you don’t have the same separation of wet and dry areas as a regular bathroom. The floor needs to be on a gradient so that all the water is directed towards the drain, and the walls around the shower area and the lower half of the walls around the rest of the wet room need to be waterproof too.
