Create an Accessible Wet Room with Orbry

While wet rooms are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their modern and stylish look, they are also a great choice for those who need an accessible bathroom. An accessible wet room makes showering more comfortable for those of us who are less abled, without creating a bathroom that looks like it belongs in a hospital. These tips are also useful for anyone who wants to create a wet room that they can enjoy for years to come.

Tips for Creating an Accessible Wet Room:

  • Use a level access wet room shower tray to create an accessible shower area with no step.
  • Include wall mounted basins and toilets for ease of use by those in wheelchairs.
  • Use non-slip tiles, such as porcelain mosaic tiles, on the floor for added grip.
  • Add a built-in or fold up seat to showering areas.
  • Use underfloor heating to help evaporate surface water on the floor and avoid slips.
  • Choose a shower with a handheld head to make showering easier.
  • Install grab rails and handles where necessary.
