The Benefits of Installing a Wet Room

Bells Kitchens & Bathrooms • Sep 02, 2020

If you’re looking to upgrade your bathroom (or add an extra bathing area to your home), then a wet room is a choice that’s both functional and stylish. There are many benefits to choosing a wet room over a traditional bathroom or shower, and they add a touch of luxury that can help to increase the overall value of your property.

Statistics show that around 5% of UK homes have a wet room installed, but they’re steadily gaining in popularity. With this in mind, if you’ve been thinking about making a change to your bathroom, see below to discover just a few of the benefits of installing a wet room.

Easy to clean

Wet rooms are a tiled, self contained space, so you don’t have to worry about grime getting trapped in the shower framework or fittings. You don’t have to deal with shower screens or curtains either, and dirt won’t gather in the corners like it can do with traditional shower trays.

Increased safety

Wet rooms offer a practical, comfortable bathing solution, particularly for anyone elderly or with mobility issues. There’s no need to navigate stepping into a bath or shower cubicle, as the area is completely flat and self contained. Wet rooms are also a great choice for anyone in a wheelchair, as there’s more space and they’re much more easily accessible.

Completely waterproof

A properly installed wet room is completely waterproof and the entire area is sealed, meaning there are no leaks to worry about. This means that they can be installed on any floor of your home, from a basement to an attic.

Sleek and stylish

The contemporary, stylish look of a wet room adds a touch of luxury to your home, and it can even increase the overall value of your property. Many people associate wet rooms with a luxury spa or hotel, so adding one to your own home really gives that ‘wow factor’ and elevates your bathing experience.
