A wet room designed around water control
Drainage leads the plan
We align floor falls, outlets, and shower positions before finishes are fitted.
Hidden areas protected
We prepare and waterproof vulnerable surfaces before tiling begins.
Access stays practical
We balance open movement with splash control and the wider room layout.
Open showering without careless water spread
A wet room can improve access and use space efficiently, but only when the layout works with the drainage. We plan the shower area, drain position, and floor falls together so water is guided where it should go. Depending on the room, you may prefer a fully open layout, a fixed screen, or a design that keeps other bathroom fixtures in place. We also consider splash reach, ventilation, cleaning, and slip-conscious finishes. The result should feel open without making every nearby towel an unwilling participant in the shower.
Waterproofing comes before the visible finish
The preparation beneath the tiles matters just as much as the surface you see. Suitable substrates, tanking and carefully treated junctions protect the room and adjoining areas. We complete these stages before tiling and final fittings, following an agreed sequence with the plumbing and electrical work. For a Carrickfergus wet room installation, we also discuss access needs, available floor depth and how the room will be used. These practical details shape the drainage, screen position and final choice of fixtures.
Frequently asked questions
Can any bathroom be changed into a wet room?
Many rooms can be considered, but suitability depends on drainage, floor construction, available falls, ventilation, and the space around other fixtures. We assess these points before recommending a layout because an attractive plan still needs to move water properly.
Why does wet room tanking matter?
Tanking forms a waterproof layer behind the visible finish in the areas exposed to water. Tiles and grout alone should not be treated as the whole defence. Good preparation helps protect the floor, walls, and neighbouring parts of the property.
Do we need a shower screen in a wet room?
Not always. The answer depends on room size, spray direction, fixture positions, and how much separation you want. A fixed screen can control splashing while keeping an open feel, but we plan it so it does not make movement awkward.
