Save space with a wet piece
with the average bathroom at UK not much larger than a king-size bed, a bathroom can be a saving solution ideal space. "Shower enclosures can constrict movement in a small room to install a bathroom where the whole room can actually become the shower, optimizes space and creates an open atmosphere," says Deana Deana Alexander Ashby Ashby Interior Design.

Solving the difficult areas
wet rooms are a good solution if your bathroom is an awkward shape. 'The shower area can be positioned within the cavities and niches that would not accommodate a standard size car or the shower tray, said Alastair Keir Keir Townsend. wet rooms also offer space to walk without shower, perfect for children or people with mobility problems.

waterproof to protect against leakage
seal - also known as tanking - is essential for a bathroom water to function properly. "A waterproof membrane with water is placed on the ground throughout the bathroom - and generally turned the walls, too - before the arrival of the floor is laid on top," said David Shaw of CSA Architects . "This creates an impervious barrier to water and replaces the need for a traditional shower tray.

getting the right drainage
to ensure water flows effectively, you must first create a gentle slope or gradient in the soil. There are two ways to do it: buy a pre-formed tray which is fixed in the ground and tiles; or spread of a leveling compound to form a slope. 'Experienced Installers can be happy to make a "plateau" is preparing the basement - for example wood joists - cut plywood accordingly and hurtled on top of that, says Deana Ashby Alexander

Take technical details serious
you need the right key to make sure your bathroom is working properly.
First, the ravine must be able to cope with the volume of water produced by the shower, so always check how many liters per minute wastes can manage.
Second, to create a "flush to the floor aesthetic, the ravine must be installed in the floor. "In some buildings, there may not be much space under the floor, for example, where wooden joists are not deep enough," warns Deana Ashby Alexander. "But there are compact waste with reduced height traps available on the market to help overcome installation problems.

connect the drain properly
standard drainage pipe is used to connect the ravine to the main drainage paths. "The length of this race should be considered to ensure sufficient slope is possible to maintain a good flow rate of the ravine, said David Shaw. "The drainage pipe must be at least 50 mm in diameter to maintain a good flow.

Use the glass to maintain an airy atmosphere
Install a simple clear glass screen to protect sanitaryware water spray while maintaining, airy open feel. This works perfectly in this beautiful bathroom, which features a lighted recycled glass basin from within by LED lights.

Consider the underfloor heating
'floor heating in a humid room is ideal for helping to stabilize the humidity, evaporation surplus of standing water and take out the cold tiled floor, said Deana Ashby Alexander.
There are two types: "wet", with hot water pipes buried in the screed or running under the floor; and "dry", an electric carpet or loose wire located in the tile adhesive.
'heating systems dry soil are more popular because they are easier to install and more convenient as a single project in a property, "says Deana. "Heating Solutions moist soil are generally incorporated in the central heating of homes that heating the soil moist throughout, although this is not always the case.

Choose the right tiles
There are practices to consider when choosing your tile wet rooms. You must be sure they will not become slippery when wet, so check the slip resistance rating with your supplier. Also be aware that some tiles are very porous and require regular maintenance and resealing.

Tiles must be installed to monitor the preformed gradient of the bathroom floor. "Mosaics leaves work well, as they will naturally bend to wrap around the same curviest surfaces" advises Deana Ashby Alexander. "Large format tiles are a popular choice for a more transparent look. However, keep in mind the large tiles may need to be cut depending on the slope of the road and retaining the critical fall of the water to escape.

Ensure the floor is stable
It is important to your bathroom for a stable ground. "Any movement or flex in the floor could cause the grout to crack and affect the integrity of tanking, said Deana Ashby Alexander.
'basement or ground floor installations, where the basement is strong, are ideal. However, here you can have problems with getting enough fall to drain waste water away efficiently, "she said.
'On a higher floor, you will find often may need to be strengthened to support the load of wood joists heavy stone tiles, and you must take steps to ensure the subfloor wood is completely stable.
