Making A Wet Room Floor Using Screed

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.

Making a wet room floor using screed.

If a step up or down is required it is best to have one 10cm step or higher instead of multiple steps measuring between 3 and 4cm which could pose a trip hazard. There is no need for a steep slope to the floor. Begin to apply the fairly wet mixture making sure that the screed is well packed into the matrix sections. The entire room is tiled from floor to ceiling and the natural gradient of the floor directs water to the drain.

At longfloor our liquid cement screed offers total peace of mind once laid and finished with the final flooring coverings of your choice. Once the matrix is fully put together fit the floor drain central dish and protective trap before filling with screed. If you have floorboards then check that they are clean dry and firm screw down any that are loose. Fill in any voids.

Stick a waterproof membrane to the floor with a flexible thin bed adhesive. 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. It opens up the bathroom can help make a small wet room look bigger and shows that you are on. Your bathroom floor is most likely to be concrete screed or floorboards.

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. Assemble and fit the remaining colour sections ensuring that each part is level along its length as you go. 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 most suitable product for use with microcement would be a floor former for use with screeds such as the impey aqua grade floor former. Water will find its way to the lowest level at any angle of fall. Floor screeds should be cured rather than just dried out quickly. 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.

This is to create the required gradient needed for the wet room floor.
