Wet Rooms have become very popular over the last few years, but is a wet room right for you and your needs, and what are the things to consider when installing a wet room? What is a Wet Room? In a nutshell, wet rooms are basically fully waterproofed bathrooms with a level-access shower. Why Choose a Wet Room? When installed correctly, a wet room is fantastically easy to clean thanks to its floor to ceiling tiles.

If installed by a certified professional, wet rooms are completely water-tight. This means that the floor beneath the tiles is even...

Having a luxury bathroom installed can be costly for many, but when done correctly, it’s an investment that repays dividends. Why Choose Luxury? It’s true that you can buy a lot of cheaper sanitary ware and bathroom furniture online without having to break the bank.

Where bathroom furniture is concerned, it’s always good to invest in names you can trust, such as Villeroy and Boch or Hansgrohe. They may carry a heftier price tag than other low-end items, but these products have usually been manufactured to the highest standard by a workforce that care about the reputation of the brand. Many of them come with thirty to sixty year guarantees, meaning that...
