Wet rooms are an entirely waterproofed bathroom or stand alone shower, and there are a wide variety of wet room flooring materials available. They open the space of small and large bathrooms by removing the bathtub, and creating a shower area that allows even-level access for persons in wheelchairs or those who cannot access a bathtub for other reasons. The choice of the flooring for a project like this can be a design element that increases the value or a home.
-Slate tiles, travertine tiles, and other natural stone can offer a rich luxurious feel to one and are naturally slip-resistant. They require frequent sealing though, about every 6-12 months, and can be very expensive.

-Granite tiles are a top choice for this style of bathroom because they offer an antibacterial surface, and are a very hard and durable surface. Granite flooring is waterproof and does not need to be sealed, except on the grout lines.
-Porcelain tiles and Ceramic tiles are the least expensive option, and offer excellent waterproofing qualities as well. Porcelain can be tricky to work with, as it requires a diamond blade saw to cut, and is prone to shattering. Ceramic tiles are often just ad durable, and are manufactured in many designs, some that resemble natural stone.
Flooring for this kind of project is normally tiled, although in some applications vinyl is acceptable as well. However, to reduce the chance of leakage due to poorly laid sub-floors or bad installation, there are many kits available that can save you time and money.
When looking for wet room kits, here are some points to consider:
-The best wet room has even-level access, the floor is not raised. This allows access for people with knee problems, or those confined to a wheelchair.
-The shower former, or tray, should be available in multiple sizes. Ask if yours can be cut if the size you need is not available.
-A good membrane will seal the walls and floor together, preventing leakage.
-Look for life time warranties on materials and tiling. If a mistake is made during installation, it is important that the tear-out is covered.
-The drain needs to be adjustable to fit the thickness of the tile.
-Frame-less shower doors offer the easiest access, and are sold in styles that will suit every taste.
-Think about the accessories you will need ahead of time, and choose quality fixtures. Towel racks, hand rails and other fixtures should be permanently mounted, so purchasing quality in the beginning will ensure that they last.
