Then the decision for tiles is weather to mosaic the shower area floor or to envelope with the main floor tile. This depends a lot on the tiler & also customer as installation, functionality and design can be different. With mosaic this can come in anti-slip finish and matt finish but with the additional advantage that because of the grout joint every 5cm2(approx) this can aid grip underfoot. the disadvantage to that is the maintenance the more grout the more cleaning, it can also be easier for the installer to lay mosaic and create the correct falls with mosaic over enveloping a large tile. While using the same floor tile throughout the bathroom floor may be your visual style choice you also have to consider practicalities. If the tile you picked is glossy or polished this will create a very slippy shower when water and soaps are added. Its better if this is the wet-room you want that you choose a tile that is matte and ideally a more gripped tile for example an R10 or R11 (C3)finish. please dont hesitiate to contact our knowledgeable staff or call in to have a look for yourself.

Baseboard Trays are specially designed waterproofing trays that are tiled directly onto the surface. These trays come with a prebuilt fall, ensuring proper drainage, and feature traps that are already installed onto the waterproof tray. This design makes the installation process much easier for contractors and provides a more reliable and efficient solution. They are especially beneficial in situations where the wetroom is located above the ground floor, making these installs a more desirable choice for many contractors due to their practicality and dependability. They also have the options of linear and square traps and can be tiled using mosaic or the larger floor tile. The contractor would then typically use Baseboard sheets to waterproof the rest of the floor.

These slate trays have gained significant popularity over the last few years and have clearly become the preferred choice for both contractors and customers when it comes to any upstairs wetrooms in bathrooms and ensuites. These trays are designed with a flat surface and a built-in fall to ensure efficient water drainage. They are available in two attractive colours: white and anthracite, and feature an anti-slip, antibacterial gel coating for added safety and hygiene. They offer contractors the peace of mind typically associated with traditional shower trays, while greatly reducing the risk of leaks since they are manufactured as one complete unit with no joints. Additionally, these trays can be easily cut to fit unusual or custom-sized alcoves, adding to their versatility. Standing at 30mm high, they can be installed to be level with the floor tiles with minimal effort, providing a sleek and seamless finish. The pricing of these units is also a significant advantage, as when considering both installation and material costs, they prove to be more cost-effective compared to building a wetroom from scratch..
