A blank canvas for a wetroom.

[diamondtiling]

I have been asked to install a wetroom show area in a friends shop, the layout has been left entirely to me. The room is roughly 4 metres long by 2 metres wide. I have some ideas already but want to give it a big wow factor by incorporating as much as I can, what features would you put into one if you had a blank canvas? I am in two minds about showing a breakdown of the structure of the room on one wall, ie the wall, aqua panels tanking etc? I would like to incorporate lights in either the floor and ceiling. Should I put a bath and sink etc at one or have it just as a wet room with multiple shower heads?

Any thoughts?

i would put lights higher up just because i like them at head or above height.ARE YOU USING A DRAINAGE CHANNEL OR TRAY OR WHAT?Ilove listellos between tiles in a colum as its a very nice feature...what size of tiles,stone ,ceramic?

 

[brian c]

depends what he wants to push sales wise which will reflect whether or not you put sanitary ware in place imo.

I would definitely show a breakdown of the structure of the room on one wall, before I 'got in to tiling' I had no idea how much work and prep goes into it so it will be good for people to see what they pay for.

I was thinking along the lines of travertine, although I could do some walls in different tiles. I will use a tray although I will make one out of ply unless people think I should show how the floor is made up.

I saw a picture on here a few weeks ago showing a ceiling with two levels, the middle was cut out and raised, I think that would look great with lights, just need to find it,I know Strumm commented on it so will look at his posts.

what's the budget? and I take it, it won't be a 'working' wet room

 

[diamondtiling]

Apart from lights it will all be cosmetic, the budget is up in the air right now, Some bathroom suppliers have hinted that they might supply some pieces.
I have persuaded my sparky friend to provide all the lights etc as he always follows me for UFH and I know he wont scimp on quality fitting.

I would use something nicer than travertine Dom..

A nice brushed finish limestone or maybe even a free length narrow width marble in random offset..

I like the idea of showing the break down of the wetroom structure in the display
as this does give the customer a better idea of what goes into the building/development of a wetroom..

I have suggested this to my stone supplier and he is going to do the same..
