The complete guide to wet room flooring A wet room is a useful addition to any home as it’s stylish and highly functional, particularly if you have mobility issues. The beauty is that a wet room is completely waterproof. The shower is integrated into the room rather than being a separate enclosure – and it’s generally flush with the wet room floor so you can walk into it. Flooring is an essential element in any wet room, as the whole space needs to be completely watertight. It should also be non-slip to create a safe environment. How we install wet room flooring Once you’ve sorted out the layout of your fixtures, such as the toilet, sink, and shower, we can prepare the surface for your wet room flooring. To ensure the entire room is waterproofed, a waterproof membrane or tanking system is generally used to prevent water from seeping into walls and floor. This will stop any structural damage and mould growth. The subfloor should be firm, level, and properly prepared. Plywood or cement board is often used as a base for wetroom flooring. The location of the drain will have been positioned so that water runs off correctly. Generally, the floor slopes gently towards a drain.
