Wet room tanking is one of the most important aspects to pay attention to during any installation of the bathroom style known as a wet room. If this specific step is not done correctly it can cause a lot of headaches for the homeowner down the road. While this will not be at all comprehensive article about wet room tanking, it will take a look at three reasons why it’s important to hire a professional with experience to make sure this crucial step is completed correctly.
Complexity
Because a wet room is basically one large room which has been waterproofed so that you can incorporate the entirety of bathroom it becomes a complex job to be sure that all of it is waterproofed. The way this is traditionally accomplished is by laying down or applying a syrup like resin. To get the most out of this particular bathroom design the floor, walls, and the ceiling are traditionally water tight and covered in tile or vinyl. This allows easier cleaning using the fire hose method. This requires that the entire room then, is completely watertight. As you can see, he can be a very complex task to be accomplished, and is best left to someone with experience to complete it.
Water Damage
If any area in the room is missed during tanking process, even a small area such as a hole or a crack, the repercussions to the bathroom and possibly the rest of the home can be devastating a few months or even years later. If any area is not watertight and moisture escapes into areas where it can rot wooden support beams or damage drywall the cost to repair such damage could be very expensive. In fact, it could easily be more expensive than the upfront cost of a professional who knows what they’re doing and we’ll get it right the first time.
Style
Something you just can’t take into account is the value of the experience of professional brings to the project. Through their years of experience in these types of installations they have learned tips and tricks that can not only help with structure and stability but also with the design and style. They might know what works best in a smaller area or a larger bathroom and that’s one of the perks to having them do the project. There’s a possibility they can save you from saying something like “I wish I would have” or “what I probably should have done”
