Fitting A Wet Room Upstairs

Wet Floor Installation


Tile coverings are never 100% waterproof. Wherever water flows over tiles and pools, moisture can gradually seep through joints that have been grouted. It’s really important when installing we rooms and showers to prevent moisture from reaching the building fabric where it can cause damp and structural damage. Wet rooms must be correctly ‘tanked’ before they are tiled. A variety of ‘tanking’ products are available to buy.

Choosing your new tiles can seem pretty daunting as the possibilities are limitless. We always recommend that you keep it simple, choose all of your tiles from one range to really get the designer look. You can switch colours and textures to accent different areas of your bathroom such as for feature walls, in shower cubicles, niches and on the floor.

Building A Wet Room Shower



The perfect wet room combines sleek looks with unparalleled functionality, delivering the most luxurious shower you’ll ever experience. With our busy daily schedules, many of us prefer the convenience of a refreshing morning shower rather than a time-consuming and indulgent soak in the bath, however, that doesn’t mean your shower can’t be just as sumptuous. A sophisticated and uncluttered wet room is the ideal solution to smaller bathrooms, maximising every inch of space while establishing a practical and stylish interior.

You will lose the value of your wet-room installation if you attempt to do the job yourself and end up paying more for labour and materials. A professional will not only have your wet area installed quicker, but will also make sure that everything like water drainage, waterproofing, underfloor heating, and other necessary elements work properly. It is difficult to set up a wet area on your own due to the many factors involved. The cost of hiring a professional wet room installer is worth the effort.

In the past wet rooms were only suitable for bathrooms on the ground floor with concrete floors. However, modern converting techniques have allowed any bathroom to be converted into a wet space with the addition of a waterproof subfloor. As mistakes in drainage and waterproofing can be very costly, we recommend that professionals handle the installation of wet rooms. Every wet room design must be considered in terms of safety, cost, and structural considerations.

Whilst work is being done turning your bathroom into a wet room, you will need a place to shower, go to the toilet and do everything else you normally do in the bathroom. It’s a good idea to understand and plan for all sorts of issues as you prepare for a week or two of work. The installation of a wet room can take anywhere from 4 days to two weeks – this again depends on the size of the wetroom and the additional features you wish to implement.

Underlayment is something you put on top of your substrate to prepare it for tiling. The substrate (or subfloor) is the ground, whether it's made of plywood or cement. Cement board or backer board are the most standard underlayments. They come in various thicknesses for different spaces.
 

What's the Difference Between a Wet Room and Traditional Bathroom? A wet room is a bathroom that contains a shower with no threshold. Typically a wet room will have a single wall blocking the shower area from the rest of the bathroom. A slope in the floor helps direct water to the drain.
 

Brass, copper, galvanised steel, cast iron and PVC and these can all play a part in your network of plumbing. In wetrooms, you are most likely to encounter brass or copper pipes. This type of wetroom pipe is likely to last between 50 and 70 years over their natural lifespan.
 

Tiling a shower by yourself can be especially hard. If you're able to keep the shower pan in place, it will remain an overall straight-forward project for the most part. You can build up a shower pan by scratch using tile and mortar. Or, you could even use a ready-made fibreglass pan.
