Wetrooms

Wetrooms are becoming more mainstream than they were five years ago and are now very much a ‘must have’ for bathrooms. The trend towards wetroom style spaces and our skill to innovate and create practical, functional solutions has combined to produce not only very effective water barriers but also stunning walk-in shower enclosures and screens.

The advantage of using a shower screen in a wetroom goes without saying, as the water is contained. Splashing and excess water can sometimes lead to the whole bathroom being drenched, particularly in small spaces. A frameless shower screen provides a practical and functional water barrier and its sleek and contemporary design matches the current trend for minimalism.

Sales of low level shower trays have also grown. Slim-line shower trays (Aqata’s measure only 35mm) are easily installed, highly practical and look great. Our low level shower trays can be installed flush to the floor providing an unobtrusive, seamless look with no awkward step up into the shower. Tanking has also come a long way in the past few years but still needs to be installed by specialists to ensure a trouble free result.

We have also noticed a trend towards bespoke customised designs with wetroom style showering areas being incorporated into even small and seemingly awkward spaces, such as under sloping ceilings. Our shower screens can be made to measure to ensure a perfect fit. Special heights and widths, notched panels, angled doors and panels etc can all be hand-made to a customer’s exact specification.

A luxury wetroom doesn’t have to cost the earth. A frameless contemporary shower screen teamed with a low level shower tray for example will create the same overall look as a traditional wetroom, with all the practical advantages these products have to offer but without the cost and hassle of tanking the whole bathroom. The overall look is stylish and sleek and one that doesn’t overwhelm the space. Our high quality luxury products provide lasting value and complete peace of mind for customers. A life time guarantee is extended to all our shower screens, enclosures and walk-ins, providing excellent value for money.

In the coming years, demand for frameless shower screens and walk-ins will continue to grow, as the functionality of high end frameless shower enclosures and screens now competes very favourably with their fully framed counterparts and traditional wetrooms. Aesthetically, frameless shower enclosures and screens are the preferred design choice, with consumers still aspiring to minimal contemporary styling. Technological advances in glass manufacture and waterproof bonding have enabled the wetroom trend to grow, whilst still being practical to both transport and install. In the future, it is likely that more attic spaces will be utilised in new builds and conversions for wetrooms and our Bespoke service can maximise the potential of these challenging spaces.
