Wet rooms have been gaining more attention over the last few years. More and more people include them in their bathroom renovation projects. They are known for having features ideal for aging individuals and people with mobility issues.
Keep reading to learn what wet rooms are and if you will benefit from having one at home.
What Are Wet Rooms?
A wet room is not like your conventional bathroom. There isn’t anything separating the shower from other parts of the room. It is totally waterproof, and water typically goes to a flush drain in the shower area. You won’t see a shower enclosure in a wet room. However, you can use a glass screen for added privacy and keep other areas of your bathroom dry.
Are They Suitable for You?
You should consider a wet room for your bathroom remodel if you have family members with mobility issues. It’s also a great aging-in-place addition since it eliminates the need to step in and out of the bath or shower, improving the safety of your bathroom.
Creating a wet room will allow you to maximize every square inch of your bathroom while elevating its appeal. Busy individuals will benefit from this space because it’s easier to clean and maintain — it has fewer nooks and crannies where buildups could occur. A wet room is also ideal for smaller bathrooms, thanks to its lack of partitions that help create the illusion of space.
What Are Their Advantages?
A Spa-Like Feel
With a wet room, you don’t need to leave the house to relax. It makes the perfect place to unwind at the end of a hectic day. You can incorporate natural materials like stone, wood, and concrete for a spa-like bathing experience. If you have the space, you can add some plants for pops of color and bring more life to your bathroom.
Easy Maintenance
You’d be surprised how easy it is to clean a wet room. It has fewer spaces where mold and mildew can grow. Just be sure the products you use are suitable for the materials in your bathroom.
Increased Property Value
One more thing that a wet room can do is increase your home’s value. This stylish space can be the selling point of your property if you decide to put it on the market in the future.
