Corner Trime And Tiles: How To Build A Wet Room
August 8, 2010 – 11:43 pmHome owners are choosing to renovate their houses instead of selling them during a low point in the housing market. Building a wet room in your home is a great way to up date your house. You can have this fitted for you, but you can save money and learn new skills by fitting a wet room yourself.
Your first step should be to choose a style for your room as this will make it easier to purchase your products. Picking a historical theme will add a bit of class to the room. Use marble effect tiles and ornate golden features for your taps and shower head. Or, you can go ultra modern with chrome jets and metallic features, perfect for creating crisp lines and a trendy space.
The first thing you will need to do is prepare the area you intend your wet room to go. Your existing bathroom is an ideal place for your wet room to go and it is best if you can separate it from the toilet and sink bowls. You must ensure that your floor is water tight so that drain problems are removed and you will not get any leaks. Tiling and vinyl are the two most common materials used to line a wet room floor with and they can come in any style to suit the theme of your room.

After the floor has been laid, the walls need to be covered. Like the floors, tiles are probably the best material to use on the walls, though you can get waterproof boards which cost less. Corner trim prevents any damp from escaping the room into the surrounding walls. Corner trim will reduce the effects of mould in the grout and prevent erosion of any soft materials.
Wet rooms can be fitted into large and small spaces so do not limit yourself when renovating your home. Just remember the essentials, corner trim and waterproof surfaces, and you will have an enjoyable and totally relaxing space in your home that might even bring you in a profit if you decide to move on.
