Wet Room Tiling Advice


Underfloor heating helps to keep every part of your new room dry, whilst providing warmth for your feet that is especially great on those cold winter mornings. It can be installed under all different types of flooring – from wood to tiles and carpet. Underfloor heating mats are the likely best choice. They’re easy to install and heat up faster than the alternative wet systems. Again, this is something that you don’t want to cheap out on, as you won’t have a thermostat or effective heating solution by doing so. Wet underfloor heating systems are connected to your central heating system, so you’ll need a plumber to hook everything up correctly.

Waterproofing and drainage is incredibly important in a wet room. The entire room needs to be waterproofed as even though there will be more water in some areas than others, you don’t have the same separation of wet and dry areas as a regular bathroom. The floor needs to be on a gradient so that all the water is directed towards the drain, and the walls around the shower area and the lower half of the walls around the rest of the wet room need to be waterproof too.

You can convert any size bathroom into a wet area. However, if you have a smaller bathroom, it is important to protect your towels, toiletries, and toilet paper from being sprayed. We recommend that you install a divider panel in a small bathroom. If you want to provide greater protection but still have the convenience of a wet area, then our large sliding shower doors are a good compromise.

If you want to give your floors a new lease of life with something other than carpet then floor tiles are one of the flooring options that can add colour and texture to your kitchen or bathroom or living areas. They give a luxurious air to a room, and look striking in a hallway or an open plan kitchen, being both durable and entirely suitable for the space as they’re easy to clean up accidental spills of food or drink. A tiled bathroom floor, together with underfloor heating makes your morning shower an inviting option, warming up the coldest of early starts.

Tile coverings are never 100% waterproof. Wherever water flows over tiles and pools, moisture can gradually seep through joints that have been grouted. It’s really important when installing we rooms and showers to prevent moisture from reaching the building fabric where it can cause damp and structural damage. Wet rooms must be correctly ‘tanked’ before they are tiled. A variety of ‘tanking’ products are available to buy.

Because they don't have national overheads, your local floor tiler will always be more affordable than big national companies. They can lower their prices to compete for your business, and they are more careful about the quality of the work they do.

Tiling the floors in your home can add value, especially when used in appropriate rooms like the bathroom and kitchen. They add a durable, luxurious touch and are far easier to clean if you spill something on them as opposed to carpets. The disadvantages of tiled floors can be that they are cold to the touch – especially when not paired with underfloor heating – and can get slippery when wet. If you have a large room, tiles may not be the best choice, especially if you have young children who like to run around as they could potentially slip and hurt themselves.

Any size bathroom can be converted into a wet room, but if your bathroom is on the smaller side, you need to think about protecting your toilet paper, toiletries and towel from getting sprayed.
 

Underlayment is something you put on top of your substrate to prepare it for tiling. The substrate (or subfloor) is the ground, whether it's made of plywood or cement. Cement board or backer board are the most standard underlayments. They come in various thicknesses for different spaces.
 

Wall tiles are thinner than floor tiles, and therefore should not be used on floors, lest they crack due to foot traffic.
 

Tiling a shower by yourself can be especially hard. If you're able to keep the shower pan in place, it will remain an overall straight-forward project for the most part. You can build up a shower pan by scratch using tile and mortar. Or, you could even use a ready-made fibreglass pan.
