Wet Room
A wet room is a fully waterproofed bathroom where the entire floor serves as the shower floor—no enclosure, no curb, no separation between wet and dry zones. Popular in European and Asian bathrooms, wet rooms maximize space efficiency while creating a sleek, open aesthetic.
The entire room requires professional waterproofing (tanking), and all fixtures and finishes must withstand direct water exposure. The result is an easy-clean, accessible bathroom that feels surprisingly spacious.

Placement & Usage Tips
Position the shower area farthest from the door to minimize splash reaching the entry. Floor drain typically centers on the shower zone. All bathroom fixtures should handle water exposure.
💡 Pro Tip
Heated floors dry wet rooms quickly and add comfort. Consider a squeegee as part of daily maintenance. Adequate ventilation is critical—wet rooms need powerful exhaust fans to prevent moisture issues.
