What Is a Disabled Wet Room?
A wet room is a fully waterproofed bathroom where the entire floor and walls are tanked (sealed), with the floor gently sloping to a drain. Unlike a standard shower, there is no tray — the floor is completely level with the rest of the room.
This makes wet rooms the most accessible bathing option available — ideal for wheelchair users, those with limited mobility, and anyone who needs or assists a career.
Wet Room vs Standard Shower — Key Differences
Standard Shower: Step or raised tray — trip risk, limited wheelchair access
Disabled Wet Room: Fully level floor — zero trip hazard, full wheelchair access
