Making A Wet Room Floor Using Screed

Assemble and fit the remaining colour sections ensuring that each part is level along its length as you go.

Making a wet room floor using screed.

Begin to apply the fairly wet mixture making sure that the screed is well packed into the matrix sections. Fitting a horizontal waste trap to a wet room floor the channel housing the drain is then concreted over and a fall is constructed into the floor by using a self levelling floor compound thickened slightly with sharp sand. Level across the screeds using your spirit level or a straight edged piece of timber moving the mix around until it is absolutely level between your two screeds. Fill in any voids.

If the floor level of the wet room cannot match the room it is entered from consider what sort of a join will be used and how this works practically. Once the matrix is fully put together fit the floor drain central dish and protective trap before filling with screed. A retro fit wet room will require the old screed to be removed in the designated shower area to allow the new drainage system and screed to be installed with the required drainage falls. This is to create the required gradient needed for the wet room floor.

Your bathroom floor is most likely to be concrete screed or floorboards. Floor screeds should be cured rather than just dried out quickly. At longfloor our liquid cement screed offers total peace of mind once laid and finished with the final flooring coverings of your choice. In a new build the wet room drainage systems are installed into the floor prior to the screed being laid.

This could be part filled with a normal screed and then finished with microcement to create the finished floor layer. If you use an open floor plan approach to for example your kitchen and dining area then the wet room is in the same line of reasoning. Stick a waterproof membrane to the floor with a flexible thin bed adhesive. Water will find its way to the lowest level at any angle of fall.

When you invest in a wet room you need to be confident that your final floor is completely waterproof before a single drop of water hits it. The entire room is tiled from floor to ceiling and the natural gradient of the floor directs water to the drain. It opens up the bathroom can help make a small wet room look bigger and shows that you are on. Rub the covering to a void free finish with the float.

There is no need for a steep slope to the floor.
