Wet rooms are becoming increasingly popular within modern bathrooms. Not just because they are easy to access and use. But they are also much easier to install than alternative options. However, not everyone is sold on the idea of installing a wet room in their property. This is why the team at Tap ‘n Shower is here to provide you with some of the main advantages of wet rooms.
What are wet rooms?
The simple term for a wet room is a room designed for you to clean yourself. This is why it’s often seen as an alternative to a shower unit. The room is often designed with tiles on a sloping floor so that all the water rushes to the drainage unit. As well as completely waterproof walls so that the whole room is secure and durable under wet conditions.
Wet rooms are very popular because they don’t require a screen or shower doors. Enabling the whole enclosure to feel open and modern for users.
