Consider a wet room for the ultimate in luxury bathing

Once the decision has been made to have a loft conversion, many of our customers also want to include an ensuite.  The idea of an additional family bathroom is a luxury many people want and the experts at Econoloft will guide you all the way.

There are a few considerations to take into account such as where your existing plumbing is, as it makes practical and financial sense to place your new facilities in line with the existing ones. 

However, if there is space available in your loft conversion we do recommend it.  It’s not just a luxury for you now but will be a great selling point in the future. This year we have noticed a growing trend for wet rooms.

 “I think travel to hotels where wet rooms are becoming the norm has opened our eyes to their benefits, “said Becke Livesey from Econoloft.

“Add to that the fact that British bathrooms tend to be quite small and it’s not difficult to see why the minimalism of a wet room appeals.”

Becke says wet rooms are particularly useful in a loft conversion where sometimes the loft may have height restrictions that prevent a standard shower unit being fitted.

A wet room is a fully water tight bathroom with no separate shower tray. The “walk-in” shower area is usually level with the surrounding floor but with a slight slope to the drain which is fitted directly into the floor. The shower unit and controls are fitted to one of the walls.

It is perfectly safe and obviously water tight thanks to our fibreglass system which is used to “tank” the room, and fully seal the wet room against water leaks.

“There is something aspirational about a wet room that appeals to customers,” said Becke.  “Thanks to their sleek lines and minimal furniture they are much easier to keep clean and hygiene levels are excellent.”

Even if you don’t want to opt for the total wet room experience, many manufacturers have developed enclosures which are effectively just glass and this can also provide a modern open feel in the bathroom.

“Bathroom design has really moved on over the last decade,” said Becke. “We work with a numerous companies who can provide the ultimate in luxury even if they are working in a really tight space.

“A wet room can become your spa at home and is the perfect complement to your new bedroom in the loft!”
