Wetroom Design & Layout Guide

Wetrooms are a modern, stylish and minimalist way to add a shower to virtually any space. Many of the wetroom designs you see in magazines, on-line or on TV can give the impression that you need loads of space to create the perfect wetroom, however even modest spaces can be transformed into a luxurious bathroom or ensuite. Smaller spaces actually benefit more from a wetroom install than they do from a traditional shower tray or bath, it takes up less space and makes the room feel bigger and more open.

Only the wet areas needs to be sloped down to a drain, not the whole room.
The shower area can be as small as 700 x 700mm or as large a practical.
Try to go with the largest wetroom tray you can reasonably fit, this will catch as much water spray as possible.
A larger shower area is also comfortable to dry off in, you do not necessarily need to have a separate space for this.
Use shower screens to deflect spray and contain water within the shower area. In smaller rooms a screen will keep your other fittings, towels and toilet paper dry, if your room is large enough you may not even need a screen at all.
Sinks and toilets can be in wet areas, but most people prefer a screen to keep them dry.
Free standing baths can and often are installed the splash zone.
Try to keep windows outside the wet area.
