Wet rooms can be suitable for any size of bathroom, whether you have a plentiful space to fill or a simple and modest showering area; there are many options available at from the online wet room collection at Victoriaplumb.com.

Wet rooms create the illusion of extra space because there is no need to use a shower tray and therefore generate a fluid and airy appeal to any en suite or showering area by using sheer glass panels for the ultimate in luxury showering.

Some planning and installation considerations can make all the difference to your bathroom when deciding on your own wet room design.

It is extremely important to make sure your bathroom floor is watertight, known technically as ‘tanking’. It is recommended that your wet room floor is raised approximately 5mm to accommodate the drainage waste; also this waste must also be sufficient enough to drain away water from a power shower, should you install one. The floor surface must be slightly sloped towards the shower waste; this helps drain water away safely and quickly.

The seal between the wall and floor is also an important feature, and it may be worth asking your qualified bathroom fitter to spend a little extra time upon this to ensure you can enjoy your wet room with minimal maintenance in the future.

As an extra luxurious touch, under floor heating can be added during installation of your wet room. This will aid in keeping the wet room area dry and ventilated, keep an eye our for futre bathroom information on underfloor heating in our online bathroom news section. A stylish chrome bathroom radiator can also do as good a job as underfloor heating for a fraction of the price. Our extensive range of ladder rails and contemporary radiator designs can be enjoyed at the Victoriaplumb.com store.

Glass panels are the perfect way to protect the rest of you bathroom suite from shower water whilst keeping a fresh open plan look.
