Today’s wet rooms have come a long way, and are now a modern, stylish alternative to the traditional shower cubicle. So what are the reasons behind this surge in popularity? Here are just a few of those reasons:
Easy style
Whether designed with nothing to separate the shower from the rest of the room, or utilising a shower screen or dividing wall to keep the shower and the rest of the bathroom apart, wet room design is now sleek and modern. Wet rooms make the most of the space available, and do not box off the shower with a traditional cubicle, allowing the space to flow flexibly.
Easy maintenance
One of the great perks of a wet room is the ease of cleaning; after all, even if the wet room has a screen or dividing wall, there is no shower cubicle or tray to clean. What’s more, wet rooms often feature wall-hung toilets and sinks, which adds to the easy maintenance, and tiled floors are better protected from water as they are designed to be 100% water tight.
Easy access
For those with disabilities or mobility issues, and indeed the family as a whole, one of the biggest advantages of a wet room is the fact that the floor is on one level – there is no dangerous step into the shower or bath, and the floor will be designed to be non-slip too; designed, therefore, with safety in mind.
