how to design & build


a wetroom By Bill Garvey,

The use of wood within the bathroom is increasingly popular and teak is perfect for use within wet environments giving a warm and natural look to the space. Teak has its own unique qualities and works in harmony with stone and glass making it an excellent choice for those wanting to create a relaxed contemporary interior. Timber works exceptionally well within wet rooms and often smaller bathrooms can be redesigned to become wet rooms, improving the use of the space while also achieving a luxurious feel. Wet rooms are perfect for families because they are easy to maintain and keep clean as the whole area can simply be washed down making them a practical solution.If you are thinking of building a wet room in your home, consider the following:

MAXXUS – for peace of mind tiled wetrooms


A knockout blow to weak wetfloor trays. Did you know that wetfloor trays are made for vinyl covering with a low design load of 47 stone over joists? This is fine for vinyl as floor-flexing is not detrimental. However, floor-flex will cause tile cracking in a tiled wetroom. Maxxus is the strongest tray at 22mm thick and no tile cracking will occur at 400mm centres.

Materials Wet rooms should be lined with dense, non-porous surfaces like timber or stone. Choosing the same materials for the walls and floor will give a sleek and stylish look. Teak tiles are extremely practical in wet environ- ments. Used within the marine industry for many years, Teak is durable, containing natural oils, protecting it from water, resistant to marking, and easy to clean.
