Wet room bathrooms are becoming increasingly popular and an absolute necessity in many settings. From accessible bathrooms in hotels, bathrooms in hospitals and care homes and more and more in private homes wet rooms are the preferred choice. It is therefore imperative that these wet rooms are installed correctly first time to avoid building damage and costly repairs.
Key points to look out for correct installation includes:-
- selecting the correct vinyl flooring for the job - vinyl should have a slip resistance rating of R11 or higher
- level subfloor to establish the correct flooring height ensuring water is always running towards the drain which will have been carefully selected to ensure everything remains water tight
- using the relevant vinyl flooring adhesive which must be moisture tolerant
- using a contact adhesive to adhere coved skirting to perimeter walls
- hot welding is essential in all joints including internal & external mitres
- ensuring that the cove former and capping strip selected suit the job
- The final and very important job is to seal the entire job with the appropriate silicone sealant.
