As experienced installers of wet rooms, Hereford Mobility Centre has everything you need to know about getting one for your home. You've likely heard this term if you’ve searched for ways to make your loved one’s home safer. They are growing in popularity because they offer safety and peace of mind to older adults who are more prone to slip and falls. We are passionate about helping you or your loved one to maintain independence and stay in your home for longer. Learn more about wet rooms below.

What Is a Wet Room?

A wet room is an open-plan bathroom where the shower isn’t confined to a cubicle or enclosed by a curtain. Instead, an entire waterproofed or tanked room with a shower area drains water efficiently through a built-in gradient. This setup creates a streamlined appearance that maximises space and accessibility, particularly in smaller bathrooms. A wet room offers customisation options that deliver flexibility for creating the optimal space for everyone in your home. A wet room offers unmatched benefits if you have an older adult or a loved one with mobility concerns.

Why Should You Consider a Wet Room?

Wet rooms offer plenty of practical benefits, adding accessibility and value to your property. Here’s why they’re worth considering for your home:

  • Increased Accessibility — Wet rooms are ideal for those with mobility concerns, as there are no steps or barriers to climb over. They’re often designed with accessibility in mind, making them a practical choice for multigenerational homes.

  • Modern Aesthetic — Wet rooms make a bold statement with their sleek, contemporary, and minimalist style. Whether you choose natural stone tiles or bold colour schemes, a wet room elevates your bathroom’s visual appeal.

  • Easy to Clean — Wet rooms are easy to maintain due to their open design and waterproofed surfaces. There are fewer nooks and crannies for dirt or mould, and a simple wipe-down keeps everything looking pristine.
