The best way I would describe wet room bathroom renovations is when one item of a bathroom is also in the shower area. This item can be the bath, vanity or toilet that shares the shower area. Traditionally these wet rooms can be taken as different meanings such as no shower screen rooms or rooms that have a dry area and a wet area. Below we will cover the pros and cons of wet room set ups.
The big plus a wet room is it gives an opportunity to have less glass and much bigger feeling shower. Below is an example of if Inverell bathroom we completed that uses the toilet in the shower area.
PROS:
- The wet room will feel so expansive with that frameless glass
- Allows for a more efficient use of the space which is often more visually appealing
- Wet rooms can make small bathrooms appear larger and we all know large bathrooms tend to look more luxurious
CONS:
- A wet room design is generally a lot more ‘open plan’ so yes, splashes and steam can go everywhere
- Waterproofing is a lot more costly and labour intensive
- Drainage and tiling of the falls is crucial and something you want to be done by a professional
- There are some restrictions on where electrical can go i.e. power points heated towel rails.
- It is not the easiest to tile and you need a lot of experience to complete them
Wet rooms renovations, or baths in the shower renovations both being similar or the same thing are becoming more popular over the years. I love them and when we first did them it was a client who had the guts to do it 10 years ago. It takes years of experience to understand not only how to tile it but to put it together with the right drainage and get the fall. You should really only do these types of renovations with experienced renovators or you will have bigger issues down the track
