4 Benefits of Choosing A Wet Bathroom for Your New Construction Custom Home [2024]
Wet room bathrooms are a smart trend that turn a bathroom into a versatile space, can lend to a lux feel, and can also provide space saving options. A wet bathroom is a bathroom fully built with materials designed to get wet. The space typically will include a shower and a free-standing tub.
Wet rooms are great for any homeowner but are especially great choices for those with mobility-constraints or those looking to future-proof their forever home.
Here are 5 brilliant benefits for choosing to install a wet bathroom in your custom home in Oklahoma.
FUTURE PROOF YOUR CUSTOM HOME
Installing a wet room as part of your new construction home build is the perfect way to future-proof your home while incorporating gorgeous design.
When designing a home to age-in-place, you can include an accessible tub that opens to the side for mobility if you’d prefer, or you can install one of those later. The great thing is that with a wet room, no matter what happens, you’ll have the option of showering in a room that’s designed for mobility and accessibility.
A wet room is built with materials that are waterproof and the room is typically built without a lip or a tray, so you won’t have to worry about wheeling a chair over the side of a shower tray. Wet rooms are highly accessible, so anyone can use this room.
SPACE SAVING
Wet rooms can be an ideal way to maximize your space. If you don’t have the square footage for a walk-in shower, a wet room may be the way to go. You won’t need to factor in space for chunky shower walls when a wet room uses a simple glass door and panel. This could be the solution to have the soaking tub that you wanted as well as the shower that you need.
EASY TO CLEAN
A wet room is made with easy-to-clean materials and since there is no shower tray or lip, there are no pockets where water will pool, mildew, or gunk. Cleaning this space is as simple as squeegeeing or wiping down the space. You’ll clean your floors as usual with a mop and whatever sanitizer or cleanser is suitable for the materials used in the space.
The great thing about this is you won’t need to scrub corners with an old toothbrush. Everything is well-lit and easy to clean.
FEELS LUXURIOUS
A wet room is not only accessible and useful, but it feels spa-like and luxurious. If you are someone who likes to rinse off before taking a bath, a wet room is the perfect solution for this. Run a hot bath while you rinse off in the shower first. Since the entire floor is designed to be wet, you won’t have to worry about cleaning puddles up after your plunge.
Feeling under the weather? Let the shower steam up your wet room while you relax in your hot bath. Another option is adding a cold plunge bathtub to your wet room for an even more therapeutic experience.
