Unless you’ve been living on a different planet, you’ll have an idea of what a wet room is. But, essentially, and to recap, it’s a completely waterproofed bathroom whose shower is at the same level as the rest of the floor. Water drains via a flush drain in the shower area. A waterproof membrane seals the walls and floor, so there is no possibility of damage from the runaway water. It can be an ideal solution if you have mobility issues, since it provides a very accessible shower.
So as well giving a feeling of luxury in this important space, a wet room is also highly functional. When it comes to selecting materials or creating this area, you need to continue this blend of elegant looks with practicality.
Durable, smart-looking limestone tiles could be absolutely right for your home.
Why have limestone tiles for your wet room?
Limestone tiles are incredibly tough – after all, this material has been quarried for millennia. There’ll be no warping from moisture or steam, while this stone also shrugs off stains. It’s naturally water-resistant, so mould and mildew won’t grow on it. Equally, it’s especially hardwearing when you seal it and add wet-proof grouting.
A good feeling underfoot
What’s more, limestone gives a luxurious feel underfoot. And that’s true whether you go for a polished, smooth finish or something more natural and therefore a little rougher. You can also use limestone tiles with underfloor heating to create an even more luxurious environment.
A naturally stunning look
Natural stone provides soft tones, a marbled effect and unique patterns. Have the same tiles across your whole wet room for a look that’s clean and minimalist. Alternatively, create focal points and separate areas in the room with contrasting stone.
Highly versatile
Limestone will work with any décor you have in your wet room. So you will be able to create a beautiful space with minimal effort. Match your tiles to your current fixtures and fittings or brand-new suite. It will be no problem to find limestone tiles which create the ideal backdrop. However you use these tiles, you will add a timeless appeal (not to mention financial value) to your home.
