Wetroom Accessories

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What accessories do I need when installing a wet room?

Essential wet room accessories include tanking tape, waterproof membranes, adhesives, sealants, screws, and fixing kits. These ensure your wet room is completely sealed and watertight.

2. What is tanking tape and why is it important?

Tanking tape is a waterproof sealing tape used on joints, corners, and edges in a wet room. It prevents leaks where water could seep through gaps in boards, floors, or around trays.

3. Can I use regular tile adhesive and grout in a wet room?

No. Wet rooms require waterproof, flexible adhesives and grout designed specifically for high-moisture environments. These prevent water penetration and cracking over time.

4. Do I need specialist fixings for wet room formers and trays?

Yes. Using the manufacturer-recommended screws and fixing kits ensures the tray or former is properly secured without damaging its waterproofing layer or structure.

5. Are wet room accessories easy to use for DIY installations?

Most are straightforward, like self-adhesive sealing tape and ready-to-use waterproofing membranes. However, correct preparation is key, and many people still prefer professional installation for peace of mind.
