What is a wetroom?

Whats is a wetroom?? This is a common question we get asked at Rubberduck Bathrooms. 

 

Definition: A wet room is a fully water tight bathroom with no separate shower tray. The “walk-in” shower area is usually level with the surrounding floor but with a slight slope to the drain which is fitted directly into the floor. The shower unit and controls are fitted to one of the walls within the wet room. 

 

A wetroom is a waterproof room equipped with a shower. The walls of the room itself becomes the shower enclosure, with a drain inset into the floor replacing the conventional shower tray.  Because there is no shower tray you have more scope to create a showering area to any size you wish and not limited to wall space.

 

Why not put your shower in the middle on the room instead of in the common corner fitment? 

 

Wetrooms needs to be waterproofed (tanked) to keep the shower water within the room and to stop damp or water damage in other room or vital building structures, such as joists. See our range of tanking kits.
