Devon Wet rooms: Tile Inspirations of Honiton, Devon give a brief overview on the concept of Wet Rooms.

The concept of wet rooms was brought to the UK from Scandinavia where they don’t have shower trays, but instead install a waterproof membrane underneath the floor and wall tiles.

Even if the product sealing the tiles perishes water should not pass through the impervious membrane.

Being watertight is the key to a successful wetroom, and apparently,
“The successful wetrooms are the ones that are installed correctly, tanked perfectly and made completely watertight by a really good tiler.''

The sub-base also needs to be absolutely solid.”“It is quite an expensive process to go through to get it right.”

Tile Inspirations of Honiton advise that the best rooms for this are either smaller bathrooms, where it creates the space to have a shower, sink and lavatory, where it would otherwise not be possible to fit a shower enclosure, or over size rooms, which can be turned into luxurious bathing sanctuaries.

By building-in body jets, designer shower fittings, different floor levels, wet and dry areas, underfloor heating, hidden storage and using materials such as limestone and mosaic, the larger wet room becomes more like a spa and can be a stunning feature in a home.
