Wet rooms have been popular in Europe for centuries, but are still a rarity outside Europe.
Here are some design tips to create your own.
Wet rooms are bathrooms that have no discernable shower space.
Instead the whole room is effectively a splash zone.
In a small room the shower tray and walls can restrict the usable space in the bath.
Where possible you should always put in the largest possible shower that will fit.
The wet room allows you to have a large shower in a small room.
Also consider using a ceiling mounted dump shower rather than a wall mounted jet.
A raised waterproof lip at the entrance to the room also acts a second line of containment.
Electrical Considerations
Consider carefully where electrical power points and heated towel ladders can safely go.
Check with your local building authority as to what they will allow as different areas have different regulations.
Shower Zones
Another variation on the wet room theme is a shower zone.
Splashes will not reach the main room and the solidwall gives privacy to the bather or other bathroomuser.
With wet rooms always remember the basics with all bathrooms: storage, sight-lines, lighting and waterproofing.
