Similar to Neale, it seems to be walk in showers rather than a true wetroom. But, yes, a massive increase in interest and I seem to get a mixture of large format porcelain or stone with only a few opting for mosaics.

Big increase around here over the last couple of years and it's also something I suggest to the customer when quoting. Most of the ones I've done have been Large format porcelain with the odd stone and mosaic thrown in.

People talk about them more but no enquirys for a while.

 

[DHTiling]

Mosaics are popular for the trays.. and then again some like the main field tile on the tray section.

I do think there is an increase in wet rooms, done more over the last year or so than at any other time

Defo an increase in wetroom jobs, and also getting asked my opinion on them much more than say 2 years ago. I find in my area that when floors and walls are tiled it's porcelain and stone (mainly trav), and when safety flooring is used the tiles seem to be ceramic on the walls for some reason .

 

[DHTiling]

What tanking do you use ken..? Solution or membranes..?

 

[Phil_23]

id say a rise in the last year, i think it died off then seems to be increasing again.

 

[jay]

more popular down here for sure Dave

 

[doug boardley]

still mainly conventional bathrooms/shower rooms round here, I get very few enquires about wetrooms which is a pity 'cos I really like doing them.

 

[CCTiling]

Not many enquiries for wetrooms. My last job was about 5 months ago and that was tiled throughout with porcelain
