Walk In Shower Wet Rooms is an information website created to provide a bounty of helpful facts about walk in showers and wet rooms.

European style walk in shower wet rooms are bathrooms that are designed to function as full-room showers, where bathing areas are not segregated from the rest of the room by walls, enclosed stalls or even lips that the user must step over. The shower is a walk-in model, level with the rest of floor, which is a safety feature for many homeowners. Benches and handrails can also be installed to further increase accessibility for users with mobility concerns. To further enhance the open appearance of the space, any dividers such as toilet screens are usually transparent. The whole area is intended to operate as a single space. The effect is a large, spa-like environment that makes the most of any lavatory’s square footage, while increasing luxury, safety and ease of cleaning.

Although this strict European wet room concept has been slow to catch on in this country, contemporary bathroom designs are emerging that offer homeowners the best of the European wet room and a traditional bathroom. So, if a bath tub is a must have item and a totally wide open space is not your cup of tea consider a hybrid design that offers the best of both worlds. These designs allow homeowners to create beautiful walk in shower areas without having to sacrifice some of the time honored features of a traditional bathroom space. Transitional walk in shower rooms have definitely found a place in our hearts and homes.

We hope you find this information useful when designing your next bathroom renovation.
