Wet room practicalities

[Citygirlrurallife]

We have a wet room in our house and wondering how folks deal with the wet floor afterwards? It’s not super bad but where I would normally put a bath mat (as you step out of the shower) that area is getting a bit wet

just have a bath mat by the door so you don’t have soggy feet leaving the room?

I've always wondered this about wet rooms!

Our house had one when we bought it and ended up ripping it out but the main reason was that it also had a loo and sink , which you couldn’t use once someone had a shower.
But, in answer to your question - yes, a bathmat outside the door otherwise the carpet would have become grubby quite quickly

You can buy a seal which creates a lip. Stick to the floor and it contains the water to that area. Of course this means that you do have to step over the inch high lip, which might make it more of a hindrance.
All the wet rooms I’ve used have had a decent slip back to the drain, so using a floor mat outside of the shower curtain or partial fixed door hasn’t been an issue. Afterwards, just used a giant squeeze floor thing to dry the floor. Certainly the whole room - toilet and sink hasn’t even been damp.

edit: seal can be bought on Amazon.

The floor has a slight camber to the drain, so it isn’t an issue. There’s also a solid glass partition opposite the shower head which reduces the amount of water to hit the floor

I have just had one put in and it has a lip so drains straight away. As long as you don't need the loo or sink straight away it's fine :)

I have a wet room ( disabled) where the shower part is the flooring dips down in a square all way around so the water gathers in the drain...a wet room floor should not be all one level.
I've enclosed photo where you can see the dip and where my bath mat is placed .. which doesn't get wet

Blue line where the dip is.
Then bath mat.

Underfloor heating so it dries faster.

It has a dip to the drainage and a glass wall so you can use toilet and sink fine, none of that gets wet, just a bit more of the floor than I was expecting. There is actually underfloor heating but I haven’t put it on yet so will give that a go

Thanks for rec on silicone seal, will try that too
