Wet rooms are good as long as you recognise that the name tells it all -
the room gets wet. So you need space between the shower and the rest of
the room. You can get very nice free standing glass panels if you are
planning for the fully mobile, but these conflict with wheel chair
access.


OK. Slope the floor:-)

How does showering with a wheelchair work?

Bit in the weekend Telegraph about separating ceramic floor tiles from
underfloor heated screed. (anti-crack matting) Anyone used it?


You transfer either to a plastic chair or (I think) to a water resistant
small wheel chair. Not had to do this yet.

Main thing is to have enough room to get the wheel chair to (but not in)
the shower area.

For those with wet towels and toilet paper the room is probably too small
and/or not well ventilated and heated.

No rust on out towel rail as yet.
