When it comes to designing a bathroom, one of the first thoughts that will come to mind is your shower. A shower is one of the most important elements of your bathroom as you will use it every day and is likely to receive a lot of traffic in your home.
There are many shower options, from having one attached to your bath to a shower cubicle or a wetroom all of which can be found at Bassetts Bathrooms. Each has its own benefits with costs varying depending on which one you go for. The thing is knowing the difference between them and the benefits of one over the other. We often get asked, “what is better, a shower cubicle or wet room?”, so we have developed this blog to help you decide which is best for you!
Wetroom
A wetroom allows you to walk straight into the shower without having a lot of the traditional fixtures and fittings. It is fully waterproof and doesn’t have a shower tray or door, allowing water to run freely throughout the room. It is designed to be a space saver as you require less room to be able to have one. Its ease of access makes it extremely useful for the elderly or individuals with disabilities.
Benefits of a wet room
Space Saver
If your living space isn’t very big or your bathroom doesn’t have much space, a wetroom is a good option. A wet room does away with all the bulky shower fittings; like the door and basin making it fit in a smaller space.
Accessibility
With no shower tray or door, an individual with a disability will find it much easier to get into and out of the shower.
Easier to clean
With a lot fewer fittings, a wet room is much easier to clean than a shower cubicle. Most household products can be used to clean and remove any unwanted residue.
