Bathrooms require extra preparation due to frequent water intrusion. The grout and tiles are not waterproof. They allow water to pass through the grout, but they are not impervious to it. Bathrooms can also be subject to humidity so you should avoid plasterboard, plywood, or other moisture sensitive boards. Hardibacker, a cement-based board is recommended for tile.

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.

It is important to think about the purpose of your bathroom design. Spotlights are a great way to give your bathroom a stylish, functional look. You can place them in certain areas to provide light around your shower or mirror. There are many options available for those who want something unique. For any type of wet area, underfloor heating is an excellent choice. Underfloor heating can be a great option if space is limited. You can extend your existing radiators to add an underfloor heating circuit. You can also install heated towel rails or additional radiators if you have a larger wet area.

In a small bathroom, we recommend installing a divider panel, or for greater protection without losing the accessibility of a wet room, our large shower sliding doors provide a useful compromise.

Wall tiles are thinner than floor tiles, and therefore should not be used on floors, lest they crack due to foot traffic.
 

A wet room is a totally waterproofed or tanked bathroom with a shower area at the same level as the rest of the floor. The water drains away through a flush drain within the shower area. As the walls and floor are sealed by a waterproof membrane, there is no risk of runaway water causing damage.
 

The most suitable types of tiles for a wet room floor are Porcelain, Natural Stone or Mosaic tiles. Because of there construction we do not recommend the use of ceramic tiles on a wet room floor, they are however perfect for the wet room walls.
