An elderly client was struggling to use the bath given the height of the sides and the problems that can cause with age.

Her daughter and son-in-law asked us in to provide a quote after coming across our details and we suggested fitting a level access wet room. 

Whilst most of our wet-rooms are decorative with tiled floors, this job was based around non-slip commercial grade Polyflor flooring which looks decorative but completely removes the ability to slip which can still be a risk with a tiled floor.

We suggested a folding shower seat which can be used as and when required and a number of grab handles aimed to aid showering.  A raised height WC means that the WC is easier to get on and off now and lastly a new basin and towel radiator to finish things off.

The use of domestic bathroom items like the Merlyn glass wet room divider coupled with commercial products like Polyflor help to make this room very practical whilst maintaining an air of style and prevent it from looking like a commercial wet room as found in hospitals and care homes.

AWI designed, specified, supplied & installed this bathroom.

From start to finish the job included:

• Removal of the existing suite, wall & floor covering
• Re-plumbing including cutting into the floor to conceal the shower tray waste and cutting into the walls to conceal the supply pipe-work
• Walls plaster-boarded ready for tiling
• Installation of white gloss PVC panelling on the ceiling
• Installation of new low energy long life central IPX4 light fitting
• Walls fully tiled (ceramic tiles)
• Polyfloor Hydro Polyvinyl flooring installed
• Installation of the new bathroom suite including shower, wet-room divider, WC, basin and towel rail
