Wetrooms

Wet Room design can seem confusing at first - we aim to make it as easy as possible for you to get the bathroom you want.

In this article we will show you the basics of Wetroom design and construction.

A good place to start is Tanking (waterproofing). There are different ways to 'Tank' a wet-room - a practical solution that we recomend is the use of Water-Proof Board.

Wedi Board is the eponymous name for this type of application, as this was the original wet-room board introduced.

Now the range of waterproof board has expanded, and includes the range of Wet-Room Board and Wet-Room Accessories that we recommend.

The Wet-Room Board we work with is called Elements Wet Room Board.

Elements Board allows a much greater adhesive gripto tiles, making it a much better substrate to work from than plasterboard or timber (ie Marine Ply).

The High Compressive Strength can also support a much greater weight of tiles.

Once the board is down, and the seams are taped up the room is already water-proof, even before tiling.

By making the room fully-waterproof before tiling, it is much easier to carry out First-Fixing

This means work can be done without the worry of either damage to finished surfaces like tiles, or flooding
