Shower Rooms: Perfectly Designed for Function and Style

A shower room is a popular choice for homeowners looking to maximise functionality and modernise their bathroom.

Shower rooms are particularly suited to smaller bathrooms, where they create a spacious and efficient layout.

Key Features of Shower Rooms:

Defined Zones: Clear boundaries between the shower area and the rest of the bathroom prevent water spread and create a clean, organised look.
Customisable Options: Choose from frameless glass enclosures, rainfall showerheads, LED lighting, and more to create a truly personalised space.
Low Maintenance: Minimal grout lines and high-quality finishes make cleaning simple and hassle-free.
Enhanced Value: Adding a modern shower room can increase the appeal and market value of your home.

Popular Shower Room Styles:

Minimalist Walk-In Showers: With sleek lines and frameless glass, these are perfect for a contemporary aesthetic.

Shower Rooms vs. Wet Rooms: Which Is Right for You?

Making the choice between a shower room and a wet room depends on your space, needs, and preferences. Here’s a more detailed comparison to help you decide:

Shower Rooms

Shower rooms are a perfect solution for small or mid-sized bathrooms with limited space. They are compact yet stylish, making them ideal for homeowners seeking efficient use of their bathroom area. These rooms come with a wide range of enclosure styles, shapes, and finishes, offering substantial design flexibility to suit various tastes and preferences. Enclosed areas in shower rooms help contain water splashes, though they require regular cleaning of trays to maintain their pristine appearance. For accessibility, step-up trays are available, but they may not be the most suitable option for individuals with mobility challenges. Maintenance costs for shower rooms tend to be lower due to their defined zones and reduced water exposure.

Wet Rooms

Wet rooms are a luxurious and practical choice for larger bathrooms or homes that prioritise accessibility. These spaces boast customised layouts for open-plan designs, allowing for endless tile choices and creative freedom. The open layout makes wet rooms easy to clean with a quick mop, though proper waterproofing maintenance is essential to ensure long-term durability. With a completely step-free design, wet rooms are an excellent choice for mobility-friendly homes, catering to individuals of all ages and needs. However, maintenance costs can be slightly higher than traditional options due to the requirement for expert waterproofing to prevent leaks and ensure structural integrity.

FAQs about Shower Rooms and Wet Rooms

Are wet rooms more expensive than shower rooms?

Wet rooms typically involve more intensive waterproofing and preparation work, which can make them slightly more expensive than shower rooms. However, their durability and accessibility often make them a worthwhile investment.

Can I install underfloor heating in a wet room or shower room?

Yes! Underfloor heating is a popular choice for both wet rooms and shower rooms, as it enhances comfort and helps water dry faster.

What type of tiles work best in a wet room?

Non-slip porcelain or ceramic tiles are highly recommended for wet rooms, as they provide excellent grip while being easy to maintain.

How do you waterproof a wet room?

Wet rooms are waterproofed using a process called tanking, which involves applying a waterproof membrane to the floor and walls to create a sealed barrier.

Can I add a wet room to an upstairs bathroom?

Yes, wet rooms can be installed on any level of your home, provided proper waterproofing and drainage are implemented.
