Introducing AKW’s guide to installing leak resistant wet rooms in upper rooms on timber floors

Over recent years, due to leak issues, poorly installed wet rooms have tarnished the reputation of this popular easy access shower solution. In fact, some architects, specifiers, and technical officers are still hesitant to specify them, particularly upstairs on timber floors.

We have created this guide with the assistance of lessons learned by our technical team to address issues around this reluctance and to emphasise best practice to achieve a leak resistant wet room adaptation and the products available from AKW to achieve this, which includes: wet room floor formers, wall panels, tanking kits, electric showers and shower waste pumps.
