Creating a Wonderful Wetroom

A wetroom is the perfect solution for contemporary interiors but works just as well in a classically styled home. A little more planning is needed in the design and installation than a standard bathroom, so you need to get the essentials right to ensure your wetroom will work perfectly.

It is possible to create a wetroom yourself with the correct research and advice, or you could hire a tiler that has experience and training under their belts and can complete the job quickly to a professional standard, using the correct products and tools with confidence.

Remember, the room will need to be completely tanked/waterproof before tiling the room. More detail about this can be found in our blog Read all about Wetrooms.

Of course, once the functional elements of your new wetroom have been planned, you need to think carefully about the tiles you choose. As well as any potential contrasting colours or decor styles, you'll need to think about anti-slip ratings on the tile resistance scale as there can be noticeable differences.

As a wetroom floor should be slanted towards the drain, your tile look must incorporate this into the overall design. Floor tiles can either be cut to accommodate the slope or mosaic floor tiles can be selected, as they're on a flexible sheet and have plenty of grout lines to add grip to the floor.

Ideal tile ranges to consider for mosaic floor tiles include Split, Lombard, Bayeux and Galiano!

The Bayeux range is available in a number of styles and colours, incorporating coordinating mosaic floor tiles to create a wetroom to be proud of. The tiles have subtle tonal changes and delicate natural-looking veins ingrained in them for that detailed finish.

Alternatives include the Shine and Firenze ranges of marble effect tiles that are available in natural matt or gloss and in a variety of realistic, stunning designs.
