Wet Rooms A wet room is basically a room with shower, but no fully containing cubicle. Wet rooms and walk-in showers are still a relatively new concept in this country but have been in use abroad for a number of years. There is no step into the shower and usually, no shower door, with the entire room waterproofed and a large drain in the floor which is built on a slant for water to drain away. Some wet rooms are small whilst others have a glass screen to keep part of the room dry and can include hand basins, baths, cabinets and toilets. Because the room has to be absolutely watertight, you usually have the room dry-lined with something called Wedi board - a reinforced, rigid polystyrene board which is completely waterproof if fitted correctly.
