wet room

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.

    Porcelanosa Firenze as floor tile in shower / wet room area

    I've a client who wants to use Porcelanosa Firenze Nacar (White) as a floor tile in his new shower area. I've explained that it is a wall tile and could be slippery in a shower but he insists on going ahead. Is this at all feasible or are there other good reasons for not doing this?
