Wetrooms are an amazing addition of both functionality and style to any bathroom. Not only do they create a stylish and modern look, they also decrease cleaning and maintenance and are very desirable to potential buyers should you ever opt to sell your property. With this in mind, here in this blog we run through some of the main benefits.
Accessibility
Although not necessarily always designed with this in mind, wet rooms are particularly ideal for those whose movement is restricted, such as elderly or disabled people. The major accessibility benefit is there is no requirement for a raised shower tray, making access to the showering area much simpler as it is all one level with no edges to trip over.
Space saving
Wetrooms offer an ideal space-saving solution, particularly in smaller bathrooms and support you in creating a functional, practical and usable area without requiring bulky fittings and fixtures.
Easy to clean
Given the absence of fittings and fixtures, wet rooms are very easy to clean. Shower enclosures, with frameworks and runners, are well known for gathering limescale and grime, so when it comes to wet rooms, it is great having nothing to clean other than a single piece of frameless glass, a safety floor and waterproof boarded walls. If you consider installing a wall-hung loo and floating basin you will have a bathroom floor completely free from obstacles or any kind of clutter. This means mopping and sweeping is easy as pie.
Increased safety
For many people requiring easy-access low-level access wetrooms are perfect. The lack of a shower tray coupled with anti-slip flooring, makes wetrooms ideal for wheelchair users as well others with disabilities or reduced mobility.
Aesthetic value
As well as the practicalities, wet rooms have a definite impact. They offer an incredibly chic and sophisticated look and feel to any bathroom and bring that wow-factor. Minimal fixtures and open design bring both simplicity and a contemporary elegance.
