wetroom tiling
Search the forum,
A shower is a place in which a person bathes under a spray of typically warm or hot water. Indoors, there is a drain in the floor. Most showers have temperature, spray pressure and adjustable showerhead nozzle. The simplest showers have a swivelling nozzle aiming down on the user, while more complex showers have a showerhead connected to a hose that has a mounting bracket. This allows the showerer to hold the showerhead by hand to spray the water at different parts of their body. A shower can be installed in a small shower stall or bathtub with a plastic shower curtain or door. Showering is common in Western culture due to the efficiency of using it compared with a bathtub. Its use in hygiene is, therefore, common practice.

Wetroom tileable shower tray 1600 x 1600mm?
Does anyone know where I can get one of these trays from if at all possible. It will need to go on first floor over beams. Went to have a look at the job this morning and it appears that the plumbers had tried to form their own tray using 6mm ply and adhesive but it's failed miserably.- martin1c

Confused about wetrooms
I am confused about the principle behind tanking a wetroom. In the event of a flood, water will simply find its way through the door to the next room. I don't understand the logic behind tanking a wetroom if this can happen? Tanking is supposed to protect substrates, but adhesive and grout is...- Brad
