I've used them on holidays in Spain but I'd imagine in the more humid Irish climate they take longer to dry out and therefore you are more prone to mould and other issues with seams and grouting.I'd be interested to read other members experiences and/or opinions of wet rooms.
I had this problem with my existing shower. Bought a longer one on Amazon for €20, and it was smooth and easy to clean not like those old manky spiral ones....but the shower hose seldom reaches everywhere...
Being a wet room... the drying off is not a concern (apart from the doorway/toiler/basin triangle, possibly)....it takes a hell of a long time to dry off without some bit of mopping dry first.
Must research this more. When I was in Australia I found cleaning the wet room very easy. Spray everywhere, hose everywhere, job done....difficult to clean because of the nature of the non slip tiles...
Here we go! This is what I'm looking for. Good tip. Still a wet room but restricting the water from going everywhere. Thanks!...a walk in shower in the style of a wetroom with a glass screen to stop the water going everywhere.
Also good advice.I would opt for mosaic tiles on the floor for grip...
You need a sloped profile in the shower area to drain the water away. The OP could try Donabate Bathrooms http://www.donabatebathrooms.ie/ who installed my wet room and who I recommend. [No connection, just a satisfied customer.]Their is one in my late father's house through necessity, while it did the job as in plenty big and no shower tray the non slip tiles are a pain to clean because of the texture, now you could in theory hose it down but the shower hose seldom reaches everywhere and it takes a hell of a long time to dry off without some bit of mopping dry first.
My pet hate.
Couple of things hereMy own pet hate is en-suite bedrooms. The bathroom part of it, to be precise.
For centuries it was the norm to have a potty under the bed. Need to use the toilet, Number 1 or Number 2, in the middle of the night? You just do it there in your bedroom!
Come the 20th century, the invention of indoor bathrooms. A dedicated room within the household.
Late 20th century and into the present day... let's combine the potty concept with the bathroom concept. Surely a regressive step.
Especially back in the "dating years"... what did I just hear?
That's just a matter of adequate ventilation which applies equally to wet rooms and conventional bathrooms.I have a concern about damp lingering and travelling to rest of house with consequent mould issues.
Yes it is one of my obsessions as suffer asthma and mould is a trigger. Window of bathroom is always open and we have dehumidifiers running. I see issues in so many houses with 'internal' bathroomsThat's just a matter of adequate ventilation which applies equally to wet rooms and conventional bathrooms.
Kinda miss ye olde thunderbox myself. Venturing out in the dark, not knowing what would be lurking to snare the unwary, literally being caught with your pants down. Hoping the candle wouldn't blow out, or ignite the fumes emanating from the depths.One, the toilet is a modern invention and probably one of the greatest inventions of all time when you think back to how we used to live
