A wet room is a great way to boost the style and functionality of your home. Not only does it offer a sleek, modern look, but it also reduces the cleaning and upkeep and appeals to many prospective buyers should you ever decide to put your home up for sale.

What Is a Wet Room?
A wet room is a bathroom with a tiled floor that is waterproof— or “tanked”— instead of sporting a traditional shower tray. If the entire bathroom flooring has been tanked, there will be no need for a partition, such as a glass screen. With a shower drain inset into a slightly sloped floor, the room becomes the shower enclosure. However, the recent trend is to add a shower panel to avoid splashes across the wet room.
Why Do You Need a Wet Room?
Incorporating a wet room into the design of your home offers numerous advantages. From an aesthetic standpoint, a wet room creates a luxurious, spa-like haven that provides a stylish and minimalist appeal. It is also liberating and accessible as it eliminates the need for a small enclosure or any worries about splashing water onto the rest of the room.
What Are the Advantages of a Wet Room?
During your next bathroom remodel, consider building a wet room in your home. Take a look at the amazing benefits that come with it:
- It saves space. A wet room is a great space-saving solution for your bathroom, particularly if it has limited square footage. It helps design a practical and functional space without requiring the installation of sizable fixtures and fittings.
- It is easy to clean. Because a wet room does not feature fixtures and fittings that you typically see in a full bathroom, it is incredibly easier to clean and maintain. A shower enclosure, for instance, is notorious for accumulating dirt and grime. But in a wet room, there is usually not a lot to clean but tiled floors, tiled walls, and a piece of frameless glass. If you are thinking about adding a wall-hung toilet and a floating basin to the room, then the clutter you will need to work around is further reduced.
- It increases home value. A wet room can make your day-to-day living less stressful. But did you know that it can also add great financial value to your home? Having a wet room as a second bathroom is appealing to many homebuyers as it boasts non-slip flooring and eliminates the shower tray and obstacles to step over. This makes it ideal for older adults as well as other individuals with mobility issues.
