Im currently in the process of renovating my 1st floor shower room and looking to create a bit of a wetroom.
First floor wet room.
All walls in the immediate shower area should be tanked floor to ceiling.
Hi i ve done some searching and cant really find the specific answer.
Wet room flooring types.
When it comes to wet rooms and walk in showers one of the biggest considerations is the material that the floor will be finished with the choice of flooring finish will largely dictate the type of under tray wet room tray that can be used with the chosen flooring type.
All wet rooms must be tanked this should extend to the whole floor area with a turn up of at least 100mm on to the walls.
These rooms are generally completely tiled and water is handled through a drainage system that serves the entire space.
A wet room is essentially a bathroom with an open shower or one that is behind some type of wall with a shower floor that is flush with the rest of the bathroom.
I ve researched this to death and pretty clear on what i need to do but looking for advice on the correct.
If a step up or down is required it is best to have one 10cm step or higher instead of multiple steps measuring between 3 and 4cm which could pose a trip hazard.
Installing a wet room on a first floor.
In this way any water that seeps through the tiling will be contained by the waterproofing.
