How to Create the Ultimate Bathroom Wetroom
Leave a CommentWant to know how to create the ultimate bathroom wetroom but worried about costs and possible complications? Relax and take a look at our guide – it’s not as hard as you might think.
Shower flooring – Bespoke shower trays
Save on the mess and trouble of tiling and waterproofing a wetroom floor by choosing a custom made shower tray which covers the shower area. Versital bespoke shower trays are made to the exact shape and size of the area you require, and can even have the colour and waste position specified.
Custom floor slabs from Versital in the matching finish can be ordered for the rest of the bathroom floor to keep the sleek wetroom look.
Wet Room Walls – Shower Panels
In a wetroom it is essential that the walls are 100% waterproof. To save on messy waterproofing and fiddly tiles with unattractive grouting, choose shower panels that are made to measure to the size that you need.
Versital offer made to measure shower panels in a huge range of different marble, granite and sparkle colour options. Simply measure the size of panels you need, choose your colour and order.
Make sure you panel right to the ceiling if you plan on hosing down the whole bathroom when cleaning to save on water ingress.
Unlike natural stone tiles need to be resealed regularly (quite a big job when all your walls are covered), Versital does not need to be resealed and will remain waterproof for its lifetime.
Keep Water Contained
It’s always a good idea to raise the lip of your bathroom threshold by 5mm. This will ensure that water is contained for longer within your bathroom in the event that the shower drain becomes blocked or runs
Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating is a great option in a bathroom wetroom to dry out the wet areas quickly.
Versital bespoke shower trays and slabs are totally compatible with underfloor heating. It has the benefit of being completely invisible with no external radiator and heating appliance to clutter up the room.
Simple Shower Screen
You may wish to consider adding a simple wetroom shower screen to ensure you keep other areas of the bathroom dry. There’s nothing worse than a damp toilet seat and towel for the next user!
Although this means your bathroom won’t be 100% open plan, a simple shower screen won’t spoil the look of the shower area, as it will be completely see-through. Our clients recommend brands Aqata and Kermi.
