Q: What is the difference between a wetroom and wet area?
What is the difference between a Wet room and Wet Area?
A wet room is a room that has been waterproofed throughout. This will mean that entire floor area and the shower walls will be tanking thus providing a water tight finish and full protection against leaks. A wet area is when just the shower area has been waterproofed and in some cases only the floor.
