Wet rooms are in fashion and always will be. Is one right for your custom master bath?
A wet room is a master bathroom feature that is growing in popularity. Any bathroom with a wet room is instantly impressive, especially if it makes good use of the space. Its space-efficiency is just one of the reasons people love it, though. What is a wet room, and would you have one in your waterfront custom home in Maryland?
What Is a Wet Room?
A wet room is a waterproof area in a bathroom that contains a shower and a bathtub. It has a glass wall and door, a half wall, or a pony wall to separate it from the rest of the room. It has a low curb or no curb, and slopes in such a way that water exits neatly into a floor drain. The bathtub is usually either beside the shower area or behind it. With beautiful tiling and hardware, a wet room can look stunning.
Reasons to Have a Wet Room
Organize Awkward Spaces
Having a wet room in your master bathroom can be a great way to organize the space, particularly when you want to include both a shower and a bathtub. It can fit both into an awkward, long space with ease. It is also easy to incorporate one into a master bath with plenty of room.
Create a Luxurious Feel
Not everyone cares to have a master bathtub, but a wet room will surely amplify a sense of luxury in your home. If you love to have both showers and baths, then a wet room can help you do both in a relaxing and tidy way.
Make the Shower Accessible
The shower is open to the bathtub but closed off from the rest of the bathroom, making it a relatively open space. With a curbless entry, it is easy for anyone with mobility issues to access the area.
Create More Natural Light throughout the Bathroom
A glass or partial wall into the wet room allows natural light to reach all the way to the back. Even so, it may also be possible to have a small, high window in your wet room.
The Downside of a Wet Room
Wet rooms do take up more space than a shower tub combo would. If you are configuring a master bath for your dream home in Maryland, Shore-Line Construction can help you out.
