10 Point Plan for a Perfect Wetroom
This seminar explores wet room installations at the design and specification stage. It will discuss integrated vs. multi-manufacturer combined systems, design and how point drains and linear drains can be hidden or accent the design, waterproofing requirements and how an integrated system can offer complete peace of mind, technology and the difference between waterproof systems and water-resistant systems, understanding the risks, and further considerations such as lighting, acoustics and undertile heating. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
- The solutions available for tiled wetroom installations
- How to specify integrated systems
- The applicable British standards and relevant Building Regulations for tiled wetroom applications and design considerations
- How to identify key design considerations when specifying wetroom systems

This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely

The Practical Guide to Wetroom Specification
Creating a successful wetroom takes research and preparation, over and above the immediately obvious. The finer details of a project are often overlooked, leading to leaks, cracked tiles and ultimately loss of room use and revenue. This CPD will cover topics including the pros and cons of a wetroom, wetroom failure, the difference between water-resistance and waterproof, standards and regulations and additional considerations when designing a wetroom. By the end of the paper you should have a greater understanding of:
- Whether a wetroom is correct for the application of the end user of the facility
- How wetroom failures are not usually immediately obvious, unlike a sudden occurrence such as a burst pipework, leaks that occur tend to be gradual due to inadequate waterproofing, and how they can go undetected for a good while after they’ve started.
- The key standards such as: PTV rating, Document M, Flow rates, falls to drains, acoustic reduction and electrical zoning
- Key areas which can be over looked when designing a wetroom such as, luxury additions, maintenance, sequencing, listed buildings and end of life considerations
