How practical is this

[aflemi]

Thought the bathroom installers particularly would be interested in this. A day by day run through of an install (a la Macten). There are a couple of things I wasn't sure about and I'm interested to see if others pick up on them. However my main question would be the shower with a wet-room former stepping down onto the floor, but no screen. I would have thought there would be a lot of mopping up after every shower and although ditra has been used under the ufh, it's hardly a full wet floor install. Interested to hear others views on the job though............

It's debatable on how much spray would come out of such a large shower without seeing it in action but some will for sure, it's made worse because of the raised elevation of the shower tray, so any water that does come out will sit on top of the tiles rather than draining away enough to allow quick drying times. If it proves that not enough water comes out of the shower area to penetrate the floor then I would imagine that it requires a fair bit of maintenance to keep such a light coloured grout looking its best. Either way it is a nice install even if it does have some design flaws

maybe it was being fitted at a later date.
