Wet rooms have often been thought of as unaffordable, yet today more people are opting for a wet room rather than a traditional bathroom – the ultimate and affordable luxury for a family bathroom or your luxury en-suite room.
Think about the space and freedom with a larger area to shower, a whole room that drains for easy drying and easy cleaning.
With both functionality and style, wet rooms are the perfect solution for any bathroom which is tight for space, whether extremely narrow or visually and functionally dated, as well as larger spaces. Their sleek design and modern finishing add a sense of luxury to your home, and their appeal can significantly increase the value of your property- another great reason to consider investing in a wet room?
Compared to a bath or shower cubicle, wet rooms are extremely easy to clean and maintain, especially if you also opt for a wall-hung toilet and basin and seamless and invisible stone or porcelain walls and floors from The Granite House.
This and their level access and lack of nooks and crannies mean typical bathroom build up is kept to a minimum, and there are no crevices for soap to gather over time.
As well as being easy to maintain and keep clean, wet rooms are easily accessible for all members of the family, and particularly beneficial to multi-generational households.
